Thomas Hammarberg is awarded the FUF prize in 2023 because he has initiated, driven and led efforts in defense of human rights and against racism and discrimination with great commitment and skill. Through his strong commitment to children's rights issues, he was, among other things, a pusher for the creation of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. In a time when freedoms and rights are exposed to new threats, Thomas Hammarberg - through his actions and the ideals he stands for - is a role model and a reminder of the importance of continuous work for a more inclusive and fair world.
Thomas Hammarberg receives the FUF award from board member Lennart Wohlgemuth.
