| Comments: |
Moutet nomianted the French League of Human Rights (of which Buisson was the founder and President)as his primary choice. If this was not agreed upon by the Committee, the nominator suggested Ferdinand Buisson as an individual candidate.
The French League of Human Rights was also on the short list, but no evaluation was written because it was difficult to obtain sufficient material about the organization. |
