The
Bruno Kreisky Award is given by the Bruno Kreisky Foundation For Human Rights
roughly every two years to individuals or organizations for their contribution
to the promotion of human rights. The award was created in 1976 on the 65th birthday
of Bruno Kreisky, a popular Chancellor of Austria who was twice a political prisoner
and an outspoken defender of human rights. In addition to the awards, the foundation
also hosts the Bruno Kreisky Forum for International Dialogue which brings together
international figures to discuss important social issues like peace, human rights
and globalization. Some of the Laureates are listed here. For a complete list:
