The Conrad N. Hilton Foundation announced on 15 March 2011 that ICBL member Handicap International will receive the 2011 Conrad N. Hilton Humanitarian Prize of US$1.5 million. A co-founder of the International Campaign to Ban Landmines in the early nineties, Handicap International is the world's largest non-governmental organization providing assistance and advocacy for people with disabilities. The organization's services range from clearing landmines to providing artificial limbs, psychological and economic support and training of local staff.
國際身心障礙組織執行長，博士Jean-Baptiste Richardier表示「獲得希爾頓人道獎是很大的榮譽，也是再次強調我們為世界上最邊緣與弱勢群體服務的集體責任。」、「從現在開始，我們處於更有利的位置，來說服捐贈者關心因意外而成為最弱勢的族群，並確保該族群長期全面性的發展是常態而不是特例」。博士Jean-Baptiste Richardier和Claude Simonnot同樣是國際身心障礙組織原始創辦人之一，Claude Simonnot已於2004年退休。
"Receiving the Conrad N. Hilton Humanitarian Prize is a great honor and underscores our collective responsibility to serve the world's most marginalized and vulnerable people," said Dr. Jean-Baptiste Richardier, CEO of Handicap International and one of the original founders along with Claude Simonnot who retired from the NGO in 2004. "We will, from now on, be in a much stronger position to convince donors to include the most vulnerable from the onset of an emergency and to ensure that long-term inclusive development for all becomes the norm rather than the exception."
