The Civil Courage Prize is a human rights award which recognizes "steadfast resistance to evil at great personal risk—rather than military valor."[1] The prize was founded in 2000 by the Northcote Parkinson Fund.[1][further explanation needed] The goal of the prize is not to create a "ranking", but "to draw attention individually to some extraordinary heroes of conscience."[2] It was inspired by the example of Soviet dissident Alexander Solzhenitsyn.[3]
