VUB and ULB jointly award an honorary doctorate to two human rights activists.
The ULB and the VUB will celebrate their common values, in particular, those related to freedom of speech and opinion, free thinking and the defence of human rights, by jointly handing over the insignia of an Honorary Degree to famous activists who have dedicated their lives to defend these values.
The VUB and the ULB are honoured to, together, symbolically reward the fight of these two personalities who have paid a heavy tribute to their struggle for the defence of rights and freedoms, including their pursuit of justice for all, including the most marginalised.
