Under the global spotlight, the United Nations Headquarters hosted the three-day International Human Rights Summit. The grand event brought together experts, scholars, UN officials and activists from around the world to discuss and advance the cause of human rights. On the final day of the summit, the event culminated in a moving awards ceremony held at the prestigious Church of Scientology and Harlem Community Center in New York. Dr. Mary Shuttleworth, President of the International Youth Human Rights Organization, honored a number of prominent human rights defenders, expressing her deep gratitude for their efforts and dedication.

In her remarks, Dr. Shuttleworth enthusiastically reviewed the events of the past two days of the Summit. “These past few days have been wonderful, full of outstanding discussions and inspiring young people’s performances. Every participant has shown their passion and dedication to human rights, especially the younger generation, whose speeches have been full of hope and strength.”
Dr. Shuttleworth then extended a special thanks to the Japanese delegation. “Last night, I met the Japanese delegation. They have done an amazing job in Japan, and by coming to the World Summit as a team, we have witnessed the power of the great global human rights family.”

During the awards ceremony, Dr. Shuttleworth presented special awards to two exceptional individuals. The first recipient was a lawyer from Mali, who has been active in human rights education since 2008. He not only promoted human rights knowledge in his country, but also translated the Human Rights for Young People book into the traditional Malian language to spread the message of human rights more widely. His selfless dedication and commitment received a standing ovation from the audience.
The second recipient was a young woman from Pakistan who faced repeated visa denials but remained steadfast in her commitment to human rights. She has extensively educated women and children about human rights in Pakistan and provided food aid in disaster-stricken areas, displaying unparalleled courage and determination. Her story has touched everyone and inspired more people to join the ranks of human rights defenders.

In her closing remarks, Dr. Shuttleworth stressed that “collaboration is our greatest strength. It is through global teams and individuals that we can continue to advance human rights. Families never truly say goodbye, and we look forward to reuniting at next year’s summit.”

The awards ceremony concluded with a standing ovation and cheers. The summit not only showcased the progress of human rights globally, but also highlighted the courage and dedication of every human rights defender. As Dr. Shuttleworth said, “Human rights belong to everyone,” a belief that will take root in the hearts of many and continue to move the world forward.
