Nobel
Prize awarded for achievements in strengthening peace and human rights
defenders in Liberia Yemen reflects a trend: In recent years the Nobel
Committee is increasingly making the lists of nominees for members of
the Third World. Although
the activities of most of these nominees is not related to the
prevention of war, it promotes internal stability which is necessary for
the preservation of peace and tranquility in these volatile regions
like the Middle East and North Africa, analysts say.Nobel
Peace Prize this year was awarded to the three ladies: Liberian
President Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf, the Liberian activist women's movement
for peace and Leymah Gbovi Yemeni activist in the struggle for women's
rights Tavakul pocket. As
the Norwegian Nobel Committee, a prestigious award they received for
"non-violent struggle for women's safety and their right to full
participation in the peacekeeping operation.""I
think it's very rewarding milestone. It starts with at least some
balancing of men and women of the Nobel Prizes, which has always been so
disproportionate, which meant completely masculine society," -
commented on the award RIA Novosti women's rights activists known
feminist writer Maria Arbatova.The
award ceremony and prize money of one million euros will be held in
Oslo on December 10 - the day of death of the founder Alfred Nobel
Prize.
"The most politicized""The Nobel Peace Prize - the most politicized of all the" Nobel ", and recently trying to include in the list of representatives of third world countries, to show that they do not hurt that they know and remember about their struggle," - said in an interview with columnist RIA Novosti President of the Institute of Strategic Studies, Alexander Konovalov.Maria Arbatov considers it essential that gave the award to women human rights defenders in Liberia, and Yemen, the Nobel Committee drew the attention of the international community to the problems of Third World countries. "It's no secret that African violence against women increased too, so this award - a proper construction of civilization, facing the third world that we - the people with the Eurocentric mind - try not to know or hear," - she said.In recent years, attention has moved from the Nobel committee of prominent world leaders and public figures, activists of the Third World. And the prize is often awarded by leaders who are more involved in the various domestic social issues than in issues of international. This is due, primarily, with a potentially explosive situation that has arisen in a number of third world countries, says Konovalov."In Europe, no war, no scheming, no one in Europe wants no war, and these points are explosive Middle East, or North Africa. It is necessary to be to try to somehow simulate these processes. And they largely depend on the political situation in the countries of the the world "- says the analyst.The prize has lost credibility?In recent years, the principles of decision Nobel Committee about who to make the lists of candidates for the prestigious award, and who then deliver it, have changed. This is evidenced by Elena Bonner - the wife of Andrei Sakharov, the Nobel Peace Prize in 1975. In an interview with BBC BBC in December last year, she said that since then, as a prestigious award presented to her husband, the credibility of the Nobel Peace Prize was severely damaged."The Nobel Peace Prize, its moral authority has changed over the years. Sakharov given the Nobel Prize 35 years ago. And the attitude of the premium was very respectful - I would say around the world. Over the years the attitude has changed dramatically," - said the widow academician.According to her, finally discredited prize after the Nobel committee awarded the 1994 award Israeli President Shimon Peres, Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin and the head of the Palestinian National Authority Yasser Arafat. Prestigious award they received for their efforts to achieve peace in the Middle East."We are given money. Buy the winners. And when the Prize was awarded to these" public figures ", as Yasser Arafat - a terrorist number one - consider that the Nobel Committee gave honorable mention terrorist. All. There is nothing else for it not. How it can be respected? "- said Bonner.Awarding the Nobel Peace Prize to Arafat was dictated by the desire of the international community to achieve peace in the Middle East, said Konovalov. "Yasser Arafat - that's quite an advance, that nothing has been substantiated, it is simply a desire to somehow promote Middle East peace process", - he said. This once again confirms the thesis that the Nobel Peace Prize - an award which is awarded based on the interests of world politics.The main intrigueEven before the announcement of the Nobel Peace Prize in the press began to appear assumptions about the most likely candidate to receive the prestigious prize. While award winners announced Friday in Oslo, called observers, among the favorites, the main intrigue of this year's award was the opportunity of Internet activists who were the organizers of the Arab revolution.So, the director of the Norwegian Peace Research Institute PRIO Kristian Berg Harpviken noted that members of the Nobel committee could not help but notice the wave of mass protests in the Middle East and North Africa, which for some countries turned a change of regimes. One of the favorites was the Egyptian Harpviken activist Israa Abdel Fatah, has organized a''youth movement''April 6, which played an important role in the protests in 2011 and a change of regime in Egypt.This option has become one of the most talked about in the world press. However, the Council of Europe Secretary General and concurrently head of the Norwegian Nobel Committee, Thorbjorn Jagland fueled intrigue, stating in several interviews that the press is not looking in the wrong direction, and indirectly hinted that the prestigious prize could get the European Union.In an interview with Norwegian newspaper VG, he said that the winner of this year "due to the fact that life was important to me." Observers note that Jagland is an ardent supporter of the project of a united Europe and remind us that in 1990 he wrote the book "My European Dream," which suggested the idea of universal European unity.The list of possible winners of the Nobel Peace Prize including the Russians. For years, the possible candidates for the prestigious award called the Russian human rights center "Memorial" and human rights activist Svetlana Gannushkina.
