Each year, after an open call for nominations, the Asia Democracy and Human Rights Award recipient is chosen by a rigorous review process over several months. The review is carried out in two stages to ensure a strict and fair assessment of all nominees. A preliminary review panel comprised of domestic scholars and experts draws up a shortlist of five candidates, which is then assessed by an international review panel of distinguished persons.
The Diplomacy Training Program was named the Award winner by a two-stage reviewing process. The TFD convened a preliminary review panel meeting facilitated by TFD President Ford Fu-Te Liao to discuss and shortlist the finalists. The five finalists’ names and credentials were then sent to the final review panel for a final decision. This year’s nominees included individuals and organizations from Australia, East Turkestan, Philippines, and the U.S. that make respective contributions in the fields pertaining to human rights and democracy promotion, religious plurality and freedom, and refugee support.
