The Right Livelihood Foundation recognizes Youth Against Settlements for its steadfast non-violent resistance to Israel's illegal occupation and promoting civic action through peaceful means.
With 475,000 Israelis living in West Bank settlements, deemed illegal under international law, these settlements are widely criticized for hindering the peace process.
Founded by Issa Amro, the Youth Against Settlements group opposes the proliferation of these settlements, advocating for a two-state solution to ensure security for all.
