London, England (AHN) – Voting is now open for the 2008 recipient of the prestigious Chatham House Prize. The now annual contest began in 2005 when the Royal Institute of International Affairs presented Ukraine’s President Victor Yushchenko with the award for his demonstrated “political courage and skill” in “steering a peaceful process of political change in Ukraine.”
Chatham House is home to the Royal Institute of International Affairs, which was founded in 1920 as a “world-leading source of independent analysis, informed debate and influential ideas on how to build a prosperous and secure world for all.”
