CALL FOR NOMINATIONS – 2020
The award aims to recognize individuals, or exceptionally an organisation, who are working in conditions hostile to fundamental human rights, are at risk, and in need of protection.

Nominees must be currently active in the promotion and protection of human rights.
Nominations are welcome from all regions, genders, and human rights related themes. We take a broad view of what a human rights defender is. Nominations of women are particularly encouraged.
Special account is taken of those who combat human rights violations by courageous and innovative means.
Three finalists are selected and will be announced in October 2019. The laureate is selected from among them, and all three are invited to participate in the ceremony hosted by the City of Geneva, in February 2020.
