Dear MEL School’s Topic Readers,
Nobel secretary regrets
Obama peace prize
The 2009 Nobel Peace
Prize. It was one of the most surprising news of the year when the world most
honored and respected prize was awarded to US President Barak Obama, who had
just assumed the role in the beginning of the year and hadn’t done any
remarkable achievement for world peace. Many thought that the committee was
hoping him to play a big role to work for peace, including the reduction of
nuclear weapons and promotion of nuclear nonproliferation treaties. And that
assumption was confirmed by an ex-secretary of the committee who served the
role for a quarter of century. He mentioned that the committee had hoped that
the award would strengthen the US president to work for world peace.
It sounds proactive, an
unusual step for the committee, to award someone for hope, not the achievement
he or she has done over the years.
Enjoy reading and
learning the insight of Nobel Committee.
