In the picture you see Mr Ruud Lubbers and Mr Akio Kanai. Mr Lubbers was the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees and he is presenting the Nansen Refugee Award to Mr Kanai. The only article for Mr Kanai is in Japanese, I do not read Japanese and thanks to Wikidata and Google translate, I was able to learn that the item in Wikidata does represent the recipient of the award.
Mr Kanai and his company have provided glasses to refugees for decades. It is just one of those things people need and refugees are people.
Mr Lubbers is just one of the UN High Commissioners for Refugees. All the others are now also known to Wikidata. Because of this Mr Kanai and Mr Lubbers are easily linked through two steps of separation.
This is a work in progress :)
Thanks,

PS I wish Bassel was a refugee, it would be safe to discriminate him but he would be alive and well.
