[edit] Human rights

• The individual who receives the Leo J. Ryan award is one who has demonstrated the courage and commitment that Congressman Ryan showed in the extreme; that individual who feels a duty as a human being to preserve and protect our most basic human rights. [1]

Those who award it view it as a human rights award. Therefore the "Human rights awards" category appears correct. ·:· Will Beback ·:· 23:23, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
