🎉 Congratulations to the laureates of the 31st North-South Prize of the Council of Europe, Mr Bragi Guðbrandsson and Mr Rami Abou Jamous! 🏆👏
🙏 Thank you to all the participants who took part in the ceremony today @AssembleiaRepub.

Mr Guðbrandsson: The Lanzarote Convention marked a key milestone for child-friendly justice. The Lanzarote Committee and the Council of Europe were pivotal in advancing Barnahus and similar structures across Europe.
#NorthSouthPrize

[North-South Centre of the Council of Europe @NSCentre]

Mr Guðbrandsson: The term “Barnahus” literally means “House for Children”. The idea was simple but transformative: to place the child victim at the centre of a coordinated, multidisciplinary and child-friendly response under one roof.

Mr Abou Jamous:
To inform is to resist erasure.
To film is to preserve memory.
To bear witness is to defend human dignity. #NorthSouthPrize

[North-South Centre of the Council of Europe @NSCentre]

Mr Abou Jamous: Being with you, in the House of Democracy, would have had profoundly symbolic significance. This place represents the meeting between history and the present — between the memory of struggles for freedom and today’s fights for human dignity.
#NorthSouthPrize

[North-South Centre of the Council of Europe @NSCentre]

Mr Gutiérrez Limones: As much as it is true that the objective of building a more equal and just society cannot be realised without the full involvement of civil society, it is equally true that national parliaments are well placed to reach this goal.
#NorthSouthPrize

[North-South Centre of the Council of Europe @NSCentre]

Mr Neukirch: Although their work differs in form, the laureates share one conviction: that human dignity must be protected through concrete action, professional integrity, & institutions capable of upholding rights in practice. This is also the @CoE mission. #NorthSouthPrize

[North-South Centre of the Council of Europe @NSCentre]

Lalla Bouhamidi: No major challenge can be met in isolation. Whether it is preventing armed conflicts and preserving peace, protecting civilians, especially children, or combating disinformation, we need multilateralism grounded in international law.
