Henri La Fontaine quotes:

Peoples will be as before, the sheep sent to the slaughterhouses or to the meadows as it pleases the shepherds.

Peoples will be as before, the sheep sent to the slaughterhouses or to the meadows as it pleases the shepherds

International institutions ought to be, as the national ones in democratic countries, established by the peoples and for the peoples.

International institutions ought to be, as the national ones in democratic countries, established by the peoples and for the peoples

The peoples are not awake...[There are dangers] which will render a world organization impossible. I foresee the renewal of...the secret bargaining behind closed doors. Peoples will be as before, the sheep sent to the slaughterhouses or to the meadows as it pleases the shepherds. International institutions ought to be, as the national ones in democratic countries, established by the peoples and for the peoples.
