The Legal Resources Centre (LRC) is proud to inaugurate the George Bizos Human Rights Award. The George Bizos Human Rights Award, which will be presented annually, seeks to recognise those making a remarkable contribution towards protecting, upholding and advancing a culture of human rights in South Africa. The LRC hopes that this Award will serve as further inspiration for human rights lawyers and all those who work tirelessly in the public interest. In launching this Award, the LRC will recognise the man - George Bizos SC - himself: for his outstanding work and unwavering commitment to holding those in power accountable for any abuse, towards South Africa’s constitutional democracy and for the realisation of the rights that are enshrined in our Constitution. Through the Award, we will also celebrate the life of Uncle George, as he is affectionately known by his friends and colleagues, and his dedication to the country’s journey to freedom.
