Nominations are being accepted for the Thomas J. Dodd Prize in International Justice and Human Rights, which honours an individual or a group who has made a significant effort to advance the cause of international justice and global human rights.

Named after the former Connecticut Senator and legal counsel at the Nuremberg Trials, the bi-annual award carries a cash prize of US$75,000 and a commemorative bronze bust.

The winner of the award will be invited to attend an awards ceremony at the University of Connecticut in fall 2005 and make a public presentation to the university community.

The deadline for nominations is 1 November 2004.
