The Dries van Agt Lecture 2026 brings together two of the most influential voices in the global struggle for justice for Palestine: Dr. Naledi Pandor, South Africa’s former Minister of International Relations and Cooperation, and Prof. Noura Erakat, human rights lawyer and scholar at Rutgers University.
The annual lecture honours the legacy of Dries van Agt (1931–2024), former Prime Minister of the Netherlands and founder of The Rights Forum. After leaving office, Van Agt became a principled and unwavering advocate for Palestinian rights, insisting that Dutch and European policy be grounded in international law, human dignity, and equality. The lecture continues this commitment by inviting leaders and thinkers who exemplify the courage to uphold principles in the face of political pressure.
