Against the backdrop of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, the continued spread of the epidemic, the climate crisis and the intensification of the energy crisis, the 2022 Nobel Prize gradually kicked off. Compared to the obscure medical awards, physics awards and chemistry awards, the literature awards and the peace awards are popular awards bet on every year. However, the world situation this year is severe and complex, with fierce competition in Nobel Peace Prize and has received the most controversy. Before the Nobel Peace Prize was released, Ukrainian President Zelensky was the most powerful competitor.
This year's Nobel nomination ended at the end of January, but after the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, 36 European politicians jointly called for Zelensky to be added to the list. Therefore, Zelensky's ability to enter the shortlist is a special approval of the Nobel Committee. It is worth noting that Zelensky has the highest support among the 343 candidates and institutions in the betting list of betting companies. The Kiev Independent, which is active in the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, also ranks relatively high. Public opinion generally believes that supporting Zelensky has represented Western political correctness and there is no problem in awarding the Peace Prize to Zelensky.
Surprisingly, after the Nobel Peace Prize was announced, Zelensky did not win the prize, but Belarusian human rights group leader Biyasky, Russian human rights organization "Memorial" and Ukrainian human rights organization "Civil Liberty Center" won the Nobel Peace Prize together.
This result surprised some people. Since Russia launched a special military operation, Ukraine has been the focus of discussion, and the Nobel Prize Committee is unlikely to ignore this. In addition, Erdel, director of the Oslo Peace Research Center, also said that the Peace Prize may point to Ukraine in some way. The award is indeed related to the Ukrainian crisis, but it is not directed at Zelensky, but the two human rights institutions of Russia and Ukraine.
Russian human rights organization "commemoration". Since its inception, it was to fight against the Soviet regime. During the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, the organization collected Russian military intelligence everywhere, listed Russia's "crimes" and supported Ukraine with public opinion activities. Ukraine's "Civil Freedom Center" is exactly the same as what the former did. Not only that, the organization also adopted a strong "civil society stance" to put pressure on the Ukrainian government, calling for "resistance to the end." Biyaski was arrested by Belarusian for suspected tax evasion and is still in prison.
It can be seen from this that the winning institutions of the Nobel Peace Prize this year are almost a "anti-Russian institutions". Zelensky failed to win the award, probably because he is now the president of the belligerent country. As long as the war fails to subside, Zelensky will have little chance of winning the award. Moreover, Zelensky has made frequent explosive remarks recently, and even called on NATO to "take the initiative" to attack Russia. This is not the awareness that a Nobel Peace Prize candidate should have.
However, this does not mean that the Nobel Prize Committee has achieved true fairness and objectiveness. According to Nobel's last wish, the winner of the Peace Prize should be "people who promote national unity and friendship, cancel or lay off troops, and do their best or contribute to peace propaganda." Institutions that really deserve awards should actively persuade and promote negotiations and resolve disputes as much as possible instead of "convicting" one party, which will not help ease the situation at all.
A few days ago, Russian President Putin mentioned on Oriental Economic Forum that the Nobel Peace Prize is usually awarded based on the consideration of the political situation. He is happy for those who have won the award, but he does not respect those who make such a decision. However, Nobel Committee Chairman Anderson claimed that the Peace Prize was not an "anti-Putin" award, they have always presented awards for certain things, not for some people.
In recent years, the Nobel Peace Prize has gradually been used by the West and has become a political tool of the West. It is judged based on Western values and is completely not carried out according to Nobel himself. Former US President 1 Obama launched the most wars during his tenure, but he won the Peace Prize. Apart from those official rhetoric, there is only one unimplemented withdrawal plan.The US military should not have appeared in , Middle East, , withdrawing troops from the Middle East is something that should be done. How can it become a peaceful move in the West?
In fact, the Nobel Peace Prize has always been full of controversy, and this is the only prize not awarded in Sweden . Due to the existence of ideological confrontation, it will be difficult for the award to get rid of this prejudice and controversy for a while.
