With this award, the jury wanted to recognize his professional career and independence, and stressed in Albanes that "guided by the principles of legality, justice and human dignity, he has contributed to making visible the situation of people affected by occupation and conflict, as well as to promoting accountability and respect for universal rights".
After examining the nominations submitted for the call, the jury has decided that the winner should be a special rapporteur for the Occupied Territories of Palestine, "as a defender of human rights committed to the truth and protection of the most vulnerable persons".
The Basque Government reports that this award is intended to highlight the work of Albanese "with rigour, courage and fidelity to the values of international human rights".
According to the jury, "through its work at the United Nations, Francesca Albanes has contributed to the visibility of human rights violations, to the denunciation of impunity and to the demand for compliance with international standards to protect persons in conflict and occupation contexts."
Albanes in his latest report, published this July, has reviewed the involvement of companies in Israeli projects and directly mentions that the Guipuzkoan CAF is among the beneficiaries in the "genocide economy."
According to the rapporteur, the Jerusalem tram project "contributes to the establishment and expansion of colonies", with 27 kilometres of new roads and 50 new stations, "connecting the colonies of the West Bank with East Jerusalem".
The award ceremony will take place on December 10th in Bilbao.
