The 2012 Human Rights Prize of the French Republic, “Liberty, Equality, Fraternity” is now open to accepting applications from NGOs around the world. The prize is to be presented to the winners by the Prime Minister of the French Government. The prize has a total grant award of €75,000.
The Prize is awarded for individual or collective action on the ground, irrespective of nationality or borders, undertaken in France or abroad, with respect to one of two themes.
NGOs, irrespective of nationality or borders, should present a field mission or project undertaken in France or abroad in 2012 concerning one of two themes:
The fight against impunity
Prize-winning projects may focus on advocacy actions aimed at publicizing resources for combating impunity and training public and civil society actors; on actions for mobilization around reforms that are crucially important to the fight against impunity; on the accompaniment of victims as part of or in parallel with judicial proceedings; and on support for transitional justice mechanisms and the compilation of archives on violations of human rights. These are not the sole avenues for action.
Economic and social rights and sustainable development
Prize-winning projects may focus on advocacy actions in support of integrating human rights into development policies, on actions aimed at supporting the participation of populations, and on actions that fully incorporate economic, social and cultural rights and take account of the living realities of people most exposed to environmental risks and hazards
Five prize winners will share a total award of €75,000 granted by the Prime Minister.
A special mention will be conferred on the five runners-up. Applications must comply with the prize regulations.
The candidates must send their complete application, without fail, before the deadline on 24 September 2012. For more information, download this document.
