Emile Banning
Emile Theodore Joseph Hubert Banning (Liege, on October 12th, 1836 - Brussels, on July 13rd, 1898) is a doctor of philosophy and letter and Belgian senior official .
So with the first accesses one would be tempted to classify Emile Banning among the men of letters, the journalists, the writers, the scholars, his role and its influence on the course of the Belgian policy largely exceeds these labels.
After having been journalist with the Écho of the Parliament , where it becomes a sagacious observer of the political life, it is named, after a passage to the Royal Bibliothèque, archivist and librarian with the Foreign affairs where it quickly becomes a species of oracle in all the historical and geographical questions. Thus of " simple" historian it moults himself as an actor of the great decisions as well of interior policy as international. Its knowledge of the world was for King Léopold II of an invaluable help even if this one moved away more and more from the wise councils of Banning.
Emile Banning was during the negotiations of Berlin in 1884 and Brussels in 1890 a high level negotiator.
Its political doctrines, based on high international morality and the respect of the law of nations, marked many Belgian personalities such as Pierre Orts.
