About the Albie Awards
Politics , Competitions & Awards
United States
Ends: Sep 26, 2024
DESCRIPTION:
Initiated in 2022, The Albie Awards recognizes leaders in the global justice movement. The awards are created by George and Amal Clooney's Foundation for Justice and named after Justice Albie Sachs of South Africa.
Sachs endeavored to end apartheid at significant risk to himself and those he loved. Calls for sanctions, boycotts, and divestment from South Africa due to its apartheid regime began in the 1950s. Like calls today to end apartheid, the position was not popular worldwide. Those seeking to force an end to South African apartheid peacefully were often maligned in the press, accused of racism, imprisoned, and targeted for revenge.
For Albie and South Africa, the tide would change with the fall of the Berlin Wall and the Soviet Union between 1989 and 1991. Suddenly, the idea of not purchasing products and services from a country that treated half of its people as second-class citizens by forcing them to live in segregated areas and denying them equal rights was no longer acceptable. Nor was it financially and politically beneficial for global politicians to support that country as long as it continued the practice.
By 1992, the business community in South Africa was feeling the pain, and they took action, helping lead the nation out of apartheid and into the peaceful multi-racial democracy it is today. Once apartheid ended, investment and trade returned, South Africa gained renewed status internationally, and divestment, sanctions, and boycotts were relegated to its history. Mission accomplished—after 38 years of trying.
