The Embassy informs that applications for the 2020 edition of the "Emilio F. Mignone" International Human Rights Award are open and will be received until 31st October 2020.

 

The Award was established in 2007 with the purpose of recognising the work of foreign institutions and/or individuals residing abroad in the promotion and protection of Human Rights.
