The United Nations says nominations are now open for the 2023 UN Human Rights Prize, which recognises individuals and organisations for outstanding achievements in human rights.
According to the world body, the award ceremony will take place at UN Headquarters in New York in December 2023.
“This year’s prize comes at a special moment, as we commemorate the 75th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and reconnect to its values,” it quoted UN Human Rights Chief Volker Turk as saying.
