The Council of Europe Youth Department congratulates the Youth Initiative for Human Rights on being awarded the 2019 Václav Havel Prize, which honours outstanding civil society action in defence of human rights.

The Youth Initiative for Human Rights, established in 2003, promotes reconciliation through building connections between young people across the Balkans from different ethnic groups, regions and countries. By working together for human rights, they aim to build links that can prevent the re-emergence of ethnic conflict in the region.

 Congratulations Youth Initiative for Human Rights!
