The UNESCO/Bilbao Prize or the Promotion o a Culture o Human Rights rewards the out-standing contributions made by organizations and individuals to the cause o human rightsthrough education and research.

Established in 2008thanks to a generous en-dowment rom the Cityo Bilbao, the UNESCO/Bilbao Prize or thePromotion o a Culture

o Human Rights succeeds the UNESCO Prize or HumanRights Education, which was created in 1978 to mark the30th anniversary o the Universal Declaration o HumanRights. For thirty years, this Prize encouraged educationor and in human rights by rewarding achievements in

this eld. Past laureates o the Prize include Vclav Havel(Czech Republic), Vitit Muntarbhorn (Thailand), AcademiaMexicana de Derechos Humanos (Mexico), the Arab Instituteor Human Rights (Tunisia) and the Centre or Human Rightsat the University o Pretoria (South Arica).

The partnership o the City o Bilbao with UNESCO sendsa strong message. Cities have always been and remain theplaces where men and women have learned to live together.With more than hal o todays population living in cities,urban areas have become strategic points or deendinghuman dignity. Respect or human rights has never beenso vital in a world that is increasingly global and urban, thateatures ever more complex and heterogeneous societies.

The rst edition o the UNESCO/Bilbao Prize took place in2008, the year o the sixtieth anniversary o the UniversalDeclaration o Human Rights. The Prize was awarded tothe senior French diplomat and ormer member o the re-

sistance, Stphane Hessel, who was also a leading humanrights deender who had taken part in the drating and adop-tion o this historic document.

I am deeply pleased that the UNESCO/Bilbao Prize 2010is awarded to Ms Asma Jahangir, a renowned lawyer, ad-vocate o the Supreme Court o Pakistan and President oits Bar Association. Asma Jahangir has devoted her timeand energy to the cause o deending human rights, espe-cially those o religious minorities, women and children. TheUNESCO/Bilbao Prize recognizes her relentless work at thenational and international levels and her courageous deter-mination to act, oten at personal risk.

As the United Nations Special Rapporteur on Freedom o

Religion or Belie, Asma Jahangir has initiated and encour-aged intercultural dialogue between countries and contrib-uted signicantly to the rise o tolerance, mutual understand-ing and cooperation or peace. Asma Jahangir is a convincedadvocate o education as the way to enhance the under-standing o cultures and religions and to root out the causeso intolerance and discrimination. It is signicant that theUNESCO/Bilbao Prize is awarded to Asma Jahangir in 2010,the International Year or the Rapprochement o Cultures asproclaimed by the General Assembly o the United Nations,and which UNESCO is leading.

The ceremony to award the UNESCO/Bilbao Prize to AsmaJahangir takes place on December 10th, Human Rights Day,devoted this year to human rights deenders who act to enddiscrimination. I take this opportunity to renew my gratitudeto the City o Bilbao and its Mayor, Mr Iaki Azkuna, or theirinvaluable support to UNESCO. The UNESCO/Bilbao Prizetesties to our shared commitment to promote human rights

through dialogue and mutual understanding, in the serviceo peace.

a be hstoc nd geogphc oveveBilbao, also known in the Basque language (or Euskera) as Bilbo,is the largest city in the Basque Country (Spain), and the capitalo the Basque Province o Vizcaya. It has 353,000 inhabitants,although this gure rises to 900,000 i we include the whole met-ropolitan area, which reaches all the way down the Nervin Estu-ary (also known in Basque as Ibaizabal, which translates literallyas wide river). Gran Bilbao, as this metropolitan area is called,extends all the way down to the point at which the estuary fowsinto the Bay o Biscay, at the oot o the Vizcaya Bridge, an archi-tectural iron wonder which was declared a World Heritage Siteby UNESCO in 2006.

Bilbao was ounded in the year 1300, and today has a thriving,lively, commercially active historic quarter o notable architec-tural value, with medieval remains and numerous constructionsdating rom the 15th century onwards. Since its oundation, Bil-bao has always been a major trade centre, a hub o movementrst or the Vizcayan iron that Shakespeare mentions in some o

his plays, and later or Castilian wool on its way to the British tex-tile mills o the incipient industrial revolution. This is the sourceo Bilbaos close relationship with England, a relationship stillevident today in the style o many o its houses, as well as in itsSociedad Bilbana, a turn-o-the-century imitation o the classicBritish gentlemens club. Being located just 120 kilometres romthe French border, the city also has a decidedly French favour,particularly evident in its 19th century suburbs. Bilbaos Basqueroots, then, merge with Mediterranean and Castilian infuences,and are seasoned with a wide range o international favours.

As a result o its natural resources, location and, above all, the leg-endary drive o its entrepreneurs, Bilbao was one o Europes earli-est industrial centres. The consequences o this are still evidenttoday, when we enter a branch o the BBVA bank in Mexico or Co-lombia, or example, or when we buy our electricity rom Iberdrolain the United States or Great Britain. Both o these multinationalcompanies were originally set up in Bilbao, and still have theirheadquarters in the city. This tradition o entrepreneurship is stillvery much alive today, and Bilbao is currently home to a number ocompanies who are leaders in their respective elds, such as the

well-known antivirus sotware developer PANDA Security.

Bilbao has always been a cosmopolitan crossroad, open to thesea and trade, innovative and, above all, committed to culture andsolidarity.

a Cty o Cutue nd EductonToday, Bilbao is known throughout the world or its amous Gug-genheim Museum, but art lovers should not miss a trip to theMuseum o Fine Arts, a building which is over one hundred yearsold and which is, ater the Prado, the second largest art gallery inSpain. Bilbao, birthplace o the classical composer Juan Criss-tomo de Arriaga, has its own symphony orchestra which shareshead oces with the Basque symphony orchestra. Both inhabit-ants and visitors can also enjoy a much acclaimed annual operaseason. The citys most internationally amous pianist, JoaqunAchcarro, is a UNESCO Artist or Peace.

Bilbao has numerous theatres, concert halls, public and private

exhibition rooms and a Conerence Centre, the Euskalduna,which has won much international acclaim.

On the banks o the Nervin River stands the Jesuit Universityo Deusto, which or the last 120 years has nourished the mindso countless intellectuals, businessmen and politicians rom allover Spain and, more recently, Latin America. The city also hasan equally prestigious Engineering School, as well as a Universityo the Basque Country campus.

Bilbao est une des villes qui a connu une industrialisation desplus prcoces sur le continent, grce ses ressources natu-relles, son emplacement, et surtout lnergie lgendaire deses esprits entreprenants. Nous vivons aujourdhui les cons-

quences de cette histoire quand nous entrons dans une suc-cursale du BBVA au Mexique ou en Colombie, ou quand noussouscrivons un contrat de ourniture dnergie chez Iberdrolaaux tats-Unis ou en Grande-Bretagne, deux multinationalesnes Bilbao et qui conservent encore aujourdhui leur sigesocial ici.

Don Miguel de Unamuno, intellectual par excellence o the early20th century Spain that died with the Civil War, and the citys mostnotoriously controversial son (oten more loved and appreciatedoutside Bilbao than by the Bilbainos themselves), had a uniquerelationship with his native city, characterised by a mixture o love

and criticism.

But art and culture are, above all, evident in the citys streets andpeople. Bilbao is a bilingual city (Spanish and Basque) in whosestreets it is no longer unusual to hear English or French being spo-ken by university students on exchange programmes, Italian or Ger-man being spoken by tourists or indeed, any o over 90 languagesrom all 5 continents which are spoken today in Bilbao thanks to theimmigration o both students and workers.

Bilbao is a city open to creativity, innovation and the cultural in-dustry. It has a lm school, a dance school, an innovative culturalcentre located in the old grain market and a world-amous cui-sine which is constantly evolving and experimenting, and whichis based on the highest-quality products rom both land and sea.

Once a grey, damp, dark, industrial city, Bilbao has, thanks to thedetermination and tenacity o its inhabitants, reinvented itsel as acity o culture, tourism and services; a riendly, pleasant place to

live and visit, ull o light and wonderul city walks.

Bbo, cty commtted to Sodty, Pece ndHumn rghts.In a Basque Country oten known or the cruel, anachronistic per-sistence o political violence born o anaticism (which, ortunately,is increasingly being conned to marginal, minority segments othe population), Bilbao, in keeping with its enlightened, humanisttradition, has made a rm commitment to tolerance, solidari ty, hu-man rights and a culture o peace, as the hallmarks o its identityand its institutional and citizen-based activities.

Bilbaos Peace Week is held every year at the end o Januarywith the aim o ostering education or peace and plurality. Theevent seeks to summarise and oer a global view o all the dierentinitiatives carried out in Bilbao in relation to the culture o non-violence. Seven days in which associations, groups, recreationalorganizations, retirement and pensioners clubs, companies work-ing in the eld o inormation and art, the media and citizens in

general, all actively participate in the various events.

The programme o events includes conerences, orums, exhibi-tions, workshops, lm screenings and recreational activities inwhich citizen participation is vital.

Bilbao also organises a Local Peace Forum involving representa-tives rom various political parties, universities, the Bilbao Dioceseand related associations.

The city has established a major public programme or interna-tional development cooperation and has a broad network o local

NGOs, which work in a wide range o dierent elds in under-privileged or poverty-stricken countries. The work carried out byNGOs is evident in the countless aid, awareness-raising and edu-cational initiatives (many o which are unded by the City Council)which take place almost daily in the citys streets, cultural centresand schools. Thousands o Bilbainos (as the local inhabitants callthemselves) have travelled all over the world to participate in anendless variety o dierent solidarity projects and initiatives. Wher-ever you go, be it Arica, America or Asia, there is almost boundto be a son or daughter o Bilbao cooperating or working with thelocal or international institutions or NGOs.

The Pedro Arrupe Institute or Human Rights at the University oDeusto, and the Hegoa Institute o International Development andCooperation Studies at the University o the Basque Country, bothrun internationally renowned postgraduate courses, doctoratesand research programmes.

As part o its ongoing eort to remain aithul to this commitment

and these identiying characteristics, the city has joined orceswith UNESCO to create the UNESCO/BILBAO Prize or the Promo-tion o a Culture o Human Rights. To this end, Bilbao has turnedto one o its local civil society organizations: the UNESCO Centrein the Basque Country, locally known as UNESCO Etxea, whichis based in Bilbao and whose status as ocial liaison has beeninternationally recognized by UNESCO. Together, UNESCO Etxea,a highly prestigious institution both in Bilbao and within UNESCOitsel, the Bilbao City Council and UNESCO, have orged an alli-ance to promote a Culture o Human Rights at an international

level. It is a partnership o which the city eels extremely proud.TheUNESCO/BilbaoP

people. Some amiliar names are Saa Bibi, Saima Waheed,Jehan Mina and Shahnaz Bibi. One o the most controversialcases was her advocacy o Saa Bibi, a blind 13-year-old girlwho was raped by her employers, and as a result becamepregnant, yet ended up in jail charged with zina (adultery). Inprotest, 25-50 women members o WAF held their rst streetdemonstration in 1983 to protest against this case deendedby Asma Jahangir who with her ellow activists managed tooverturn her death sentence.
