Statement by the President on the Awarding of the Nobel Peace Prize to Liu
Xiaobo
I welcome the Nobel Committee's decision to award the Nobel Peace Prize to
Mr. Liu Xiaobo. Last year, I noted that so many others who have received the
award had sacrificed so much more than I. That list now includes Mr. Liu,
who has sacrificed his freedom for his beliefs. By granting the prize to Mr.
Liu, the Nobel Committee has chosen someone who has been an eloquent and
courageous spokesman for the advance of universal values through peaceful
and non-violent means, including his support for democracy, human rights,
and the rule of law.
As I said last year in Oslo, even as we respect the unique culture and
traditions of different countries, America will always be a voice for those
aspirations that are universal to all human beings. Over the last 30 years,
China has made dramatic progress in economic reform and improving the lives
of its people, lifting hundreds of millions out of poverty. But this award
reminds us that political reform has not kept pace, and that the basic human
rights of every man, woman and child must be respected. We call on the
Chinese government to release Mr. Liu as soon as possible. |
