Nobel Peace Prize 2022: Nobel Peace Prize 2022 was given to Ales Bialiatski, Memorial and The Ukrainian Centre for Civil Liberties.
Human rights advocates in Russia, Ukraine, and Belarus, Ales Bialiatski, Memorial, and The Ukrainian Centre for Civil Liberties were the recipients of this year’s Nobel Peace Prize 2022.
The Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to these three winners, for their hard work in uncovering war crimes, the violations of human rights, and the misuse of power.
Since 1901, many have been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. It has been awarded yearly to those who deserve the highest level of recognition. For their tremendous efforts in statesmanship, political activism, promoting peace and shedding light on the truth.
Ales Bialiaski, a Belarusian human rights activist, is one of the three winners of the Nobel Peace Prize 2022. Mr Bialiski is also the founder of the Human Rights Centre named ‘Viasna’, founded in 1996. Viasna is a non-governmental human rights organisation, created to help individuals and their families who were arrested during anti-government demonstrations. Mr Bialiaski is currently being held in prison without trial.
Accompanying Mr Bialiaski is Memorial, an International Human Rights Organisation founded on 28 January 1987, during the fall of the Soviet Union. Memorial has spent over 30 years attaining justice. For those people who were imprisoned, killed, or persecuted during the soviet era.
Unfortunately, Memorial was shut down by authorities earlier this year.
The third recipient of the Nobel peace prize is The Ukrainian Center For Civil Liberties (CCL). The Ukrainian Centre For Civil Liberties is Ukraine’s leading human rights organisation, founded in 2007. After the invasion of Ukraine, the CCL has put much effort into documenting and identifying Russian war crimes against civilians in Ukraine.
All three winners of the Nobel Peace Prize 2022 showed great devotion to encouraging peace and exposing the truth. Hopefully, this award will be presented to many more deserving individuals and organisations who have made outstanding contributions in making the world a better place.
