“The
tribute given by lawyers to a lawyer”
Created in 1984, the "International
Human Rights Prize Ludovic -Trarieux” is awarded to
" a lawyer, regardless of nationality or Bar, who thoroughout
his career has illustrated, by his activity or his suffering, the defence of human rights, the promotion of defence rights, the supremacy of law, and the struggle
against racism and intolerance in any form ".
It is the oldest and most prestigious
award given to a lawyer in the world, commemorating the memory of the French
lawyer, Ludovic Trarieux (1840-1904), who in the
midst of the Dreyfus Affair, in France, in 1898, founded the " League for
the Defence of Human Rights and the Citizen ",
because, he said: " It was not only the single cause of a man which was to
be defended, but behind this cause, law, justice, humanity ".
The first Prize was awarded on March
29th, 1985 to Nelson Mandela then in jail. It was officially presented to his
daughter, Zenani Mandela Dlamini,
on April 27th 1985, in front of forty presidents of Bars and Law Societies from
Europe and Africa. It was the first award given to Mandela in France and the first
around the world given by lawyers. On February 11th 1990, Nelson Mandela was
released. Since then, it was decided that the Prize would be awarded again.
Since 2003, the Prize is awarded every
year in partnership by the Human Rights Institute of The Bar of Bordeaux, the
Human Rights Institute of the Bar of Paris, the Human Rights Institute of The
Bar of Brussels, l'Unione forense
per la tutela dei diritti dell'uomo (Roma), Rechtsanwaltskammer Berlin, the Bar of Luxemburg, the Bar
of Geneva, the Bar of Amsterdam as well as the Union Internationale
des Avocats (UIA), and the European Bar Human Rights Institute (IDHAE) whose
members are the biggest european law societies
fighting for human rights. It is presented every year in a city that is home to
one of the member Institutes.
