President Jacob Zuma has congratulated Justice Richard Goldstone on being the recipient of the prestigious MacArthur Foundation Award for International Justice.
Zuma described Goldstone as “an extraordinary South African who has dedicated himself to the pursuit of justice, locally and internationally”.
Zuma also welcomed Goldstone’s appointment to lead an investigation into possible human rights violations in Gaza.
Goldstone is reported to be the second recipient of the Award for International Justice, after former United Nations secretary-general Kofi Annan was honoured last year.
