President of the Pan-African Psychology Union Professor Saths Cooper has described as befitting the award to the legal team that represented South Africa’s case at the International Court of Justice in The Hague in the Netherlands.
The Steve Biko Foundation and Frantz Fanon Award for Psychological Liberation awarded the team for the role it played in representing South Africa in The Hague. This was to make South Africa’s voice and solidarity noticed in the global arena in condemnation of Israeli killings of Palestinians in Gaza in a war that began last October.
Professor Cooper says, “Even in apartheid it was a crime against humanity and when something like this happens somewhere else and we have been on the receiving end of that system, we needed to take a stand. So, we are honouring all the legal people for shining and ensuring the dignity of human beings all over the world is protected because that is ultimately what we need to do as South Africans, as fellow human beings, as the family of humanity.
The award will be given at the Opening Ceremony of the joint 30th Anniversary of the Psychological Society of South Africa and the 10th Anniversary Pan-African Psychology Union Congress at Emperor’s Palace on Gauteng’s East Rand tonight.
