The jury of the 6^th edition of these awards for European integration recognised Yuste Foundation as an entity whose purpose is to support the promotion of democracy, respect for human rights, the promotion of peace and international harmony, as well as the development of all peoples and nations of the world, through the promotion of culture, research, dissemination of knowledge and social integration.
