The Al-Gaddafi International Prize for Human Rights 

The prize was an annual prize founded by leader Muammar Al Gaddafi in 1988.
Gaddafi made an initial grant of ten million US$ to the Swiss-based foundation North-South which later administered the prize. 

The sum of the prize money was US$250,000 (in case of several recipients the prize money was shared).

The prize attracted controversy over some of its selections (such as Roger Garaudy).
The prize was discontinued in 2011, after Gaddafi's official murder October 20 - 2011
