El Premio Sunhak de la Paz 2019 fue concedido al Dr. Akinwumi Adesina, presidente del Grupo del Banco Africano de Desarrollo, y a Waris Dirie, activista pro derechos humanos centrada en la mutilación genital femenina (MGF).

 

El Comité reconoce los logros del Dr. Adesina a la hora de mejorar la economía africana al promover la buena gobernanza y liderar la innovación agrícola. Estos logros contribuyeron a la seguridad alimentaria en África, que tiene como propósito mejorar las vidas de millones de personas que viven en la pobreza en este continente.

El comité premió a Waris Dirie en reconocimiento a su incansable defensa de los derechos de las niñas y las mujeres, y a su llamamiento para alcanzar una resolución internacional de cara a la erradicación de la MGF, protegiendo así a las niñas en riesgo de sufrir esta práctica.

Durante la ceremonia, cada laureado recibió un premio de 500.000 dólares estadounidenses, junto con una medalla y una placa, entregados por la fundadora, la Dra. Hak Ja Han Moon, y el presidente del Comité, el Dr. Il Sik Hong.

A la ceremonia asistieron más de 1000 delegados, incluidos anteriores y actuales presidentes, vicepresidentes, líderes y empresarios africanos, así como representantes de varios Gobiernos, del mundo académico, del de los negocios, los medios de comunicación y de diferentes religiones.

El embajador Kenneth M. Quinn, presidente de la Fundación del Premio Mundial de Alimentación, pronunció el discurso de felicitación, durante el que afirmó que ambos premiados verdaderamente ofrecerán un enfoque distintivo a la hora de impulsar los derechos humanos y el desarrollo humano en África.

En su discurso de aceptación, el Dr. Adesina declaró que la paz no puede existir en un mundo hambriento, y que el premio es un llamamiento para que se haga más por aquellos menos privilegiados de todo el mundo, especialmente en África.

Waris reivindicó que la MGF debe ser erradicada en nuestros días y que seguirá luchando por los derechos de las niñas y las mujeres hasta que construyamos una sociedad en la que sus derechos puedan ser respetados.

El presidente Hong afirmó la importancia de la visión de Una familia bajo Dios y de la temática de los derechos humanos y el desarrollo humano en África. Su discurso de bienvenida subrayó que la paz solo podrá alcanzarse cuando los derechos humanos de todas las personas estén protegidos, y que la devoción de los laureados puede acercar un poco más a la humanidad a escribir un nuevo capítulo de la paz en el mundo.

Este premio reconoce a aquellos individuos y organizaciones que han realizado contribuciones significativas a la paz y al desarrollo humano de las generaciones futuras.
