OSLO — Chinese dissident Liu Xiaobo has won the 2010 Nobel Peace Prize, the
committee announced Friday.
Previous winners include President Barack Obama, former Vice President Al
Gore, former President Jimmy Carter, former U.N. Secretary General Kofi
Annan, Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., Mother Teresa and former South African
President Nelson Mandela.
In an earlier interview with Norwegian broadcast network NRK, committee
chair Thorbjoern Jagland explained some of the decicion-making process.
"We have to try to capture what is happening in the world, identify what we
want to encourage and I think we are able to achieve that (with this year's
prize)," said Jagland, a former Norwegian prime minister in charge of the
committee since 2009.
Last year's choice of President Barack Obama, less than nine months into his
term, triggered sharp criticism. Nobel watchers had said the panel was
likely to select a more traditional laureate this year.
"It will be an interesting prize this year, as well, and one that can set
the agenda," Jagland said of this year's choice. |
