Yesterday, 2nd October 2014, Princess Beatrix of the Netherlands attended the Max van der Stoel Award in the Spanish Court (a historic palace located in the centre of The Hague).
The award was first established in 2001 by the Ministry for Foreign Affairs of the Netherlands, named after Max van der Stoel, a distinguished Dutch statesman, who was the first High Commissioner of National Minorities in the Organisation for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE). The award is presented every second year to either a person, group or institution for extraordinary and outstanding work, fighting for the rights of national minorities.
This year’s award went to the non-governmental organisation, Spravedlivost, which is located in the Jalal-Abad Province in southern Kyrgyzstan. The Spravedlivost organisation won the award for its contribution and effort to improve the position of national minorities in Kyrgyzstan, by raising public awareness of human rights and co-operating with the state authorities to improve the law and detention conditions.
During this ceremony, Princess Beatrix wore with her elegant red outfit a bow brooch which is unknown to me.
The brooch seems to have a golden color, with a red centre (garnet?).
Is it a new addition to the Orange-Nassau collection? Or was this brooch already seen before?
