The honour was bestowed by the Roosevelt Foundation, which was created in 1982 to present awards honouring the Four Freedoms outlined by U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt in his 1941 State of the Union address — freedom of speech and expression, freedom of worship, freedom from want and freedom from fear.
