The awarding of three Awards is envisaged to pay homage to and support personalities of recognized intellectual stature, institutions and private or public bodies that contribute significantly to the promotion, research and maintenance of Peace in the world, and in defense of human rights and of fundamental freedoms, in compliance with the provisions of the UN General Assembly. The following Awards will be awarded:

• Mahatma Gandhi, Peace Award for the affirmation of peace through non-violence
• Martin Luther King, Freedom Award for the affirmation of equality between men
• Nelson Mandela, Human Rigths Award for the affirmation of freedom and dignity

whose assignees are united by the awareness of how necessary it is to promote Peace, equality, social justice, human rights, disarmament, fundamental freedoms and by the desire to dedicate their lives to this difficult, but not impossible, battle.

Nominations are free and can be proposed by anyone who is a "citizen of the world" (including self-nominations), private individuals, bodies or institutions, by sending a dossier, which will be treated confidentially, together with the presentation form.

The Scientific Committee of the Foundation for World Peace (Promoting Committee), composed of ten members representing different countries, cultures and religions, all involved in movements for the affirmation of peace, has the task of evaluating and selecting, among the various applications received, those worthy of nomination.

The deadline for submitting applications is set for March 31, 2025.
