The Geneva Prize for Human Rights in Psychiatry was created in 1998 in Geneva to award individuals or organisations having distinguished themselves through their work in the defence of fairness, humanistic values and human rights in the field of psychiatric care. The first award was given in September 2000 to an association named Geneva Initiative on Psychiatry. Dr Jim Birley (Chairman 1995-2000) accepted the prize. The prizewinner was selected from among a number of candidates from developing and developed countries by an international jury presided over by M. Robert Badinter, former French Minister of Justice.
