The decision to award the Nobel Peace Prize to Malala and Satyarthi is moving acknowledgement of two persons’ courageous battle to defend the rights of children”, said Minister Mogherini. “But it is not only that. It is a choice that reminds the entire world, from politicians to civil society, of the duty to daily defend human rights”, she continued. “Denying the rights of generations of young people does not only jeopardise the individual destinies of countless men and women, but the very future of a nation, and of the world. We have the duty to support the efforts of those who, like Malala and Satyarthi, are willing to risk their very lives to defend the future”, she concluded.
