"Justice is an equitable approach to law and society, which transcends conventional boundaries, either in theory or action, and improves the human condition while inspiring others to do so. The Prize recognizes a person or an entity that has promoted and enhanced justice and respect for the rights and yearnings of all mankind."

Advisory Board
