In 2010, he was named Human Rights Defender of the Year by the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, and in December 2024, he will receive the Right Livelihood Award in Sweden. The award recognises Amro and Youth Against Settlements for their “steadfast nonviolent resistance to Israel’s illegal occupation, promoting Palestinian civic action through peaceful means.”
