The World League of Peace was an organization set up in Switzerland by Georges Dejean following World War I. Its goal was to assemble a collection of manuscripts from current leaders or other notable persons, commenting on the idea of world peace. Compiled over a seven year period, the anthology became known as the Pax Mundi.
