Professor Ralph Ruebner of The John Marshall Law School received a human rights

cooperation among the teens of the ethnically diverse population of Northern
Israel. Ruebner was recognized for his contributions to "the struggle for
human rights and the quality of the environment," and his work on behalf of
human rights for the Palestinian people, and people around the world. Ruebner
