The American Bar Association Center for Human Rights (CHR) will honor EarthRights International and Human Rights Watch with its 2022 Eleanor Roosevelt Prize for Global Human Rights Advancement during a reception Thursday, Dec. 8 at the historic Roosevelt House in New York City.
“The Center for Human Rights is proud to recognize EarthRights International and Human Rights Watch with the 2022 Eleanor Roosevelt Prize for their tremendous accomplishments in service of human rights around the world,” said Roula Allouch, chair of the ABA Center for Human Rights. “Their work, and steadfast dedication to it, are indispensable to achieving a just rule of law for all, and they are consistent with the tireless spirit of Eleanor Roosevelt, who is the center’s adopted patron saint and in whose honor the center established the prize.”
ABA President and past CHR Chair Deborah Enix-Ross observed that “human rights are the lifeblood of justice in the world, and those who dedicate their careers to the vindication of human rights therefore deserve special recognition by the legal profession.”
EarthRights International is recognized for its record of transformative advocacy, from grassroots campaigns to landmark litigation, and securing justice for communities suffering human rights and environmental harms resulting from abusive corporate practices.
Human Rights Watch is recognized for its broad-ranging and influential advocacy in defense of human dignity worldwide.
