Deadline: 15-Sep-20
The North-South Prize of the Council of Europe is awarded every year preferably to two nominees, one from the North and the other from the South, keeping, when possible, the gender balance.
The Prize is honorific commending the Prize winners’ achievements.
The North-South Prize is awarded each year since 1995 to two candidates who have stood out for their exceptional commitment to promoting North-South solidarity.
The candidates, preferably a man and a woman, must have distinguished themselves in the following areas: protection of human rights, defence of pluralist democracy, public awareness raising on issues of global interdependence and solidarity. Despite the variety of nationalities and fields of action of those that have received the Prize since its creation, they all have in common a strong commitment to the promotion of North-South partnership.
