Launch of PACE Human Rights Prize

The PACE has called for nominations for the first annual 

Human Rights Prize, which will reward outstanding civil 

society action in the defence of human rights in Europe. 

Individuals and NGOs can be nominated for the prize,

which will be selected by a panel to be elected before 

the end of the year. 

The first Prize will be awarded at a ceremony in Strasbourg

during  the summer plenary session.
