I believe them to be well worthy of nomination and support because of their selfless devotion to providing free care to those who need it, regardless of who they are, in some of the worst conflicts and emergencies witnessed in recent history.
The organisation was originally founded in 1971 in the wake of the Biafra secession and since then has helped deliver healthcare and medicinal training to many thousands in such situations as; the civil wars in Sudan, the genocide in Rwanda, the al-Anfal conflict, the Liberian civil war, and the Cambodian wars.
In more than 40 years of facing incredible difficulty in their work, the MSF has only called for military action once. This was in Rwanda after they lost almost 100 staff, and the first hand witnessing of the mass murder made it obvious that the conflict could not be solved by doctors alone.
To this day the men and women of MSF strive to help those in need, facing the very real threat of direct violence, kidnap, and landmines, not to mention the risks of disease. They give freely to people regardless of race, faith, political affiliation, and also believe the needs of these people outweigh any respect for borders.


I will second the nomination.

So I'll nominate Vladimir Putin, just like the Swedes nominated Hitler just before WW2.
Why Putin? He's protecting the 'liberties' of the 'oppressed peoples' in South Ossetia, the Donetsk People's Republic, the Luhansk People's Republic and Abkhazia.

I support you.

Given that the Blue Shield International is on course to make the ballot, I’d like to second the nomination of Médecins Sans Frontières. It’d be a crying shame if MSF wasn’t on the ballot.

U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry for pulling off the impossible between two historically unfriendly states, and managing to hammer out an anti-nuke agreement with Iran despite powerful forces in both nations doing all that they could to sabotage the process. If this works--and there's no compelling reason to believe that it will not, and every reason to expect that it will--then this has been a major step in combating the proliferation of nuclear weapons, and providing some sort of sense of stability in an increasingly unstable region.

EDIT: Gellinor got that while I was writing, so I'll just second his nomination.

When Kim Jong Un commits right violations, it's a problem, but when MSF commits genocide against viruses, they're heroes. I see how it is. >:(

But when I'm not pretending to be a virus, I actually have a lot of respect for MSF. I support this nomination.

I nominate Betty Makoni.

Reason: Betty Makoni is a Zimbabwean gender activist who founded the Girl Child Network in 1999. Girl Child Network is a charity which cares for Zimbabwean sex abuse victims. The organization has rescued more than 35,000 girls. She earned two degrees from the University of Zimbabwe, and has been awarded numerous national and international awards.

Orphaned as a child and sexually abused, Makoni is helping dispel erroneous information spread by "healers" and religious men that having sex with a virgin girl cures AIDS. She continues to rescue girls who have been raped and sexually abused by giving them shelter and education.

He never voted to increase taxes and never voted on a unbalanced budget.
His fight for civil rights and gun rights
His fight against the tyranny of Obama because he kills civil rights.
