The original autograph contribution of Sidi Ahmed Pasha to the Committee of the World League for Peace (Ligue Mondiale pour la Paix), a remarkable organization formed in 1925 with close ties to the League of Nations. The Committee itself was composed of such notaries as Queen Elizabeth of Belgium, King Carol II of Romania, John D Rockefeller, Marie Curie, and Albert Einstein, who personally gathered the present manuscripts over the course of seven years (1925-32). Among the public figures who contributed to the project were dignitaries from the newly-created League of Nations' member states. "Praise be to God! Be friends and love one another, for you are all brothers who worship God. Peace is the best policy and God leads the righteous to that which is in the best interest of nations and peoples [Signed] Sidi Ahmed Pasha". Sidi Ahmed Pasha, better know as Ahmed II Bey, ruled Tunisia from 1929 until his death in 1942 as a member of the Husseinite dynasty.
