Why Obama won the Peace Prize. What is the reason?

The Nobel Prize Jury1October 9 announced that US President Barack Obama won the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize. The news spread all over the world, causing controversy and mixed opinions. Even the American media expressed "unanimous surprise" at Obama's award. Almost everyone was as surprised as Obama himself. Supporters think this is a myth, while opponents think it is a joke. According to the official website of the Swedish Nobel Foundation, there are 205 nominees for this year's Nobel Peace Prize, setting a historical record. Previously, Zimbabwe's prime minister was considered a popular candidate for the award. This year's winner will receive a gold medal, a certificate and a prize of1400,000 USD. Awarded Obama the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize in recognition of his "extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation among the people of the world". To this end, the author also noted that the Norwegian Nobel Peace Prize rotating committee praised, "Obama has made great contributions in diplomacy, worked hard to promote a nuclear-free and nuclear-weapon-free world, and promoted democracy and paid attention to human rights around the world; In the fight against climate change, efforts should be made to lead the United States to curb the problem of warming, and at the same time promote dialogue, mediation and discussion to resolve differences among countries. " At the same time, the Committee also asked, "Why did the award go to US President Barack Obama who took office less than a year ago?" It was further explained that "the Peace Prize was awarded to Obama to show his support and encouragement. I hope that he will promote a higher level of cooperation in the international community and emphasize that the relevant decisions are unanimous decisions of the whole Committee. " A commentary said, "Obama's inauguration 12 days before the deadline for nomination for the 2009 Nobel Prize is not so much an acknowledgement of his contribution as an affirmation of his current commitment." Then, we should define the reason why Obama was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize according to the idea of the Nobel Peace Prize Rotation Committee. Is the performance of US President Barack Obama, who took office less than a year ago, really mediocre? See: Only for individuals, the inside story of the Nobel Prize is little known. First of all, according to Mr. Nobel's will and the articles of association for awarding the Nobel Prize passed by the Swedish Parliament, "it must be awarded to individuals, not to research institutions, not to mention the nationality, nationality and religious beliefs of this person." Therefore, it is Obama who won the Nobel Peace Prize this time, not US President Barack Obama. Secondly, in my personal understanding, there are two biggest differences or exceptions between the Nobel Peace Prize and other awards: First, Nobel clearly stipulated in his will that the Peace Prize will be awarded by a rotation committee appointed by the Norwegian government. Second, people who can influence "world peace" are undoubtedly people with great power or influence. Therefore, it is necessary to consider Obama in connection with the President of the United States. Thirdly, since 190 1 was awarded the Nobel Prize for the first time in modern times, the influence of the United States and its president in the world is beyond doubt, which can be considered from the fact that 19 Americans won the Nobel Peace Prize, and among these 19 Americans, 9 are American presidents, vice presidents and secretaries of state. It can be seen that Americans, especially American politicians, have a high probability of being awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. See: Americans have won the fourth place in the 19 Nobel Peace Prize so far. According to the Nobel Committee, Obama was awarded the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize in recognition of "his extraordinary efforts in strengthening international diplomacy and cooperation among people all over the world." The Norwegian Nobel Peace Prize rotating committee praised, "Obama has made great contributions in diplomacy, striving to promote a nuclear-free and nuclear-weapon-free world, and promoting democracy and paying attention to human rights around the world; In the fight against climate change, efforts should be made to lead the United States to curb the problem of warming, and at the same time promote dialogue, mediation and discussion to resolve differences among countries. " Let's analyze it: 1. What matters is not the time in office, but what to do. US President barack obama has been in office for less than a year, but "he has made extraordinary efforts to strengthen international world diplomacy and cooperation among the people of the world." It's still worth seeing. The author believes that if we look at it from another angle, doing practical things has nothing to do with the time in office. For example, a Nobel Prize winner in chemistry said that the discovery of the periodic table of elements was due to a dream at night. 2. Pushing the UN to ratify nuclear non-proliferation is the key. US President barack obama is committed to promoting a nuclear-free and nuclear-weapon-free world. Although it was only the beginning, from the day he reached an agreement with Russian President Dmitry Medvedev and Prime Minister Vladimir Putin, one of the largest nuclear-weapon States in the world, and pushed the United Nations to approve the nuclear non-proliferation regulations, it was doomed that this was more than just a slogan. 3. Returning to the United Nations human rights institutions is the key. Promoting democracy and paying attention to human rights around the world, Obama, as the president of the United States, leads the United States back to the United Nations human rights institutions, which helps to eliminate the double standards of "democracy and human rights" in the international community. In addition, Obama is the first "black" president in the United States, and his affinity and influence in the world should not be underestimated. 4. Signing the Kyoto Protocol is the core. In the fight against climate change, the efforts to lead the United States to curb global warming are centered on Obama's signing of the Kyoto Protocol on behalf of the United States. This not only points out the direction for the global future, but also injects a strong impetus into the international economic development. The word "carbon tariff" is bound to be associated with Obama. It can even be said that in the future, global currencies, including the US dollar, will move from "petrodollars" to "carbon currencies" to a certain extent. See: Cold thinking: China falls into the dollar trap, and G20 is blackmailed by carbon coins? In addition, Obama stopped the anti-missile system in Europe and withdrew his troops from Iraq in the Middle East, which is conducive to peace with Asia, especially the development of relations with China. ...... So, if we feel it, then everyone has a peace prize in their hearts. My peace prize winner is Obama. Although I didn't think of him before? But now if I were to award the Nobel Peace Prize, I would definitely award it to Obama. Because, at this moment, the only person who is credible and capable of committing himself to world and peace is Obama! Unless the Nobel Peace Prize is vacant this year? The following is a summary of the Associated Press's disclosure that the five judges of the Nobel Peace Prize unanimously elected Obama. It is quite rare for four Committee members to be interviewed by the Associated Press. Because members of the Committee usually express their opinions only through the chairman. The Nobel Peace Prize is judged by a five-member committee (one man and four women) elected by the Norwegian Parliament. Three of the five members will be regarded as far-left liberals if they are placed in American politics, and the other two are Norwegian versions of * * * and Republicans. The jury believed that Obama was elected unanimously. Generally speaking, the Committee will abide by Norway's view on foreign affairs, that is, an internationalist view that is very close to Obama's position on the world stage. Professor Leren, who studies Nordic affairs at the University of Washington in Seattle, said: "Obama's speech at the United Nations (including the establishment of a nuclear-free world) has received a positive response, which coincides with Norway's foreign policy." Jagland, the chairman of the jury, is the former Prime Minister of Norway and the former leader of the Norwegian Labor Party. Lelun pointed out that the Norwegian Labour Party is politically left-leaning, similar to the British Labour Party before Berea came to power. He explained: "All the center-left parties in Norway are evolutionary socialism, and they believe that socialism is evolutionary and democratic." Another MP, Lambek, is also party member of the Labour Party. The third left-leaning politician in the committee is AgotValle, a socialist left-wing party member who cares about environmental affairs and strives to increase social expenditure. The two right-of-center MPs are KaciKullmannFive of the Conservative Party and Ytterholm of the right-wing Progressive Party, who are fighting for low tax rates and restrictions on immigration. Scott London, a writer who studies the Nobel Prize, said that Norwegians know that they have two opportunities to influence the world's thoughts every year, one when the Nobel Peace Prize winners are announced and the other when the prizes are awarded, so they want to make full use of these two opportunities. A five-member committee spent seven months carefully selecting 205 candidates and finally elected Obama. Lundstar, secretary of the Peace Prize Committee, said that the Committee finally decided that the winner was Obama on September 5 (four days before the announcement). Committee members said that the establishment of the Peace Prize was to some extent to encourage efforts for peace, but compared with previous winners, Obama's efforts were only in the initial stage. The Committee also acknowledged that awarding the Peace Prize to US President Barack barack obama can be seen as an early vote of confidence in global support for his new government policies. Jagland told the Associated Press: "If everything is wrong, you can't blame Obama for everything. It may be because we or everyone else didn't respond. However, I cannot rule out that Obama is also responsible for the ultimate failure. " Valle, who joined the Committee this year, also said that she hopes this choice will be regarded as "support and trust for Obama" and "hope to be an incentive for those who work hard to reduce nuclear weapons and disarmament". In addition, Obama won this year's Nobel Peace Prize, which really shocked the world and caused great repercussions. The author noticed that millions of netizens logged on to the popular social networking site Twitter to express their opinions, so that the site was once paralyzed. However, most Twitter users agree that Obama won the election, accounting for 62%. Unlike "China", netizens (8 1.9%) think that Obama is not qualified to win the prize.
