Roger Nash Baldwin was a seminal figure in the development of the human rights movement in the United States of America, bringing together leadership on domestic issues of what came to be referred to as civil rights, and on international human rights promotion.  He was a founding member of the American Civil Liberties Union, serving as its executive director until 1950.  He also founded the International League for the Rights of Man, now known as the International League for Human Rights.

The Roger N. Baldwin Medal of Liberty was established in 1989 in honor of the principal founder of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and the International League for Human Rights. The Award is presented by Human Rights First every other year to a human rights organization or activist outside of the United States that has made a distinguished contribution to the protection and promotion of human rights. The Criteria upon which the Baldwin Medal is awarded include distinctiveness and effectiveness of the nominee’s human rights advocacy and the degree to which the nominee faces risk as a result of their work. The Awardee receives a trip to the United States to engage in advocacy and US$25,000.
