Après la bataille de Solferino, Henri Dunant (1828-1910) décida d'intéresser l'opinion publique au sort des blessés de guerre. Ses nombreuses démarches assurèrent le succès de la conférence de Genève (1863), d'où sortit la Convention de Genève du 22 août 1864, qui prévoit la protection des victimes de guerre. Pionnier de l'action humanitaire, il fut le principal fondateur de la Croix-Rouge. Henri Dunant reçu le Prix Nobel de la paix en 1901.
