Parliamentarians working for peace. The French Parliamentary Group of International Arbitration (1903-1914)

Abstract

In March 1903, French deputy Paul d’Estournelles de Constant founds the French parliamentary group for international arbitration designed for the promotion of the pacific settlement of international disputes. The success of this group, which involves more than half of the French deputies and senators on the eve of the Great War, testifies a real concern of the French parliamentary circles for the maintenance of international peace. In this perspective, the Group promotes the work of the Hague Peace Conferences and conducts a skillful “parliamentary diplomacy”, establishing direct links with British, Scandinavian, ottoman, russian and german Parliaments through exchange of visits and regularly participating in the meetings of the Interparliamentary Union. It also cultivates friendship with the United States of America and in particular it celebrates president Theodore Roosevelt’s policy.
