Centre for International Law Research and Policy (CILRAP) tildelte 30. november Gunnar M. Ekeløve-Slydal M.C. Bassiouni Justice Award for 2024. Under samme arrangement i Haag lansert han sin nye bok Norm Efficacy and Justification in International Criminal Law, en samling av essayer, som undersøker effektiviteten og begrunnelsen for internasjonale strafferettslige normer.
Juryen begrunnet tildelingen med følgende:
“(a) his insightful writings that reflect a holistic understanding of international criminal and human rights law and practice, drawing on more than 30 years of extensive engagement with victims in numerous countries, his advocacy vis-à-vis public authorities and international organisations, and his philosophical training; (b) his enduring commitment to public education and dissemination of knowledge on international human rights and criminal law, through his participation in public discourse and nourishing of diverse voices in the Nordic Journal of Human Rights, one of the oldest journals in its field; (c) his collaborative and prudent leadership of the Coalition for International Criminal Justice (CICJ), whose statements have become a leading source of policy advice on criminal justice for core international crimes; (d) his leadership role in multi-year documentation of serious human rights violations that may amount to core international crimes, meticulously implementing specialised software in partnership with innovative technology experts (notably I-DOC); and (e) his courtesy and modesty, regardless of position, and his courage as evidenced by his writings criticising former judges of the International Criminal Court and the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia as well as his own country’s treatment of the Sámi minority in Norway.”
– Jeg vil gratulere Gunnar M. Ekeløve-Slydal med M.C. Bassiouni Justice Award for hans langvarige og profesjonelle engasjement for menneskerettigheter. Hans grundighet og dedikerte innsats er fortsatt avgjørende viktig for Helsingforskomiteen, sier generalsekretær Berit Lindeman.
