Human Rights Award

APA members are asked to submit nominations for APA's 2007 Human Rights Award. The award, conferred yearly on an individual and/or an organization, recognizes efforts that exemplify the capacity of human beings to act courageously and effectively to prevent human rights violations, to protect others from human rights violations and their psychiatric consequences, and to help victims recover from human rights abuses.

Nomination letters should succinctly describe the contributions that are the basis for the nomination and be accompanied by the individual's curriculum vitae or the organization's mission statement.

Recipients will receive a plaque, to be presented at the Convocation of Fellows at APA's 2007 annual meeting in May.

The deadline for receipt of nominations is August 15. Materials should be submitted by mail to Office of International Activities, APA, 1000 Wilson Boulevard, Suite 1825, Arlington, Va. 22209; fax to (703) 907-1087; or e-mail to [email protected].▪
