The Nobel Peace Prize was awarded "not for the result, but for the attempt"

29
Today the Nobel Peace Prize laureate has become known. After the peace prize once received by Barack Obama or the European Union, it is hardly worth being surprised anymore. Moreover, one should not be surprised that ICAN became the Nobel Prize winner. It is the International Nuclear Prohibition Company. weapons.

From the message of the Nobel Committee:
The Nobel Committee appreciated the work of ICAN in drawing attention to the heinous consequences of the use of nuclear weapons.


The Nobel Peace Prize was awarded "not for the result, but for the attempt"


The Nobel Committee noted the merits of the organization in "making attempts to ban nuclear weapons with the help of international agreements."

ICAN has previously prepared a treaty on the prohibition of nuclear weapons. It was adopted by countries that do not have nuclear weapons, 7 June 2017, and is open for signing on September 20. It is known that it can "enter" into force after its signing by the 50-th states of the world. What does the entry into force of this treaty really change? - ICAN does not report, as they do not report to the Nobel Committee.

Thus, the Nobel Peace Prize is not awarded for the final result, but for an “attempt” to arrive at a result. After all, the activities of ICAN did not lead to any of the countries of the nuclear club abandoning its nuclear potential.

Does this mean that from now on the Nobel Peace Prize can be received by organizations for trying in other areas? For example, a hypothetical organization for the general prohibition of small arms, which will compose a contract. And let no one give up on weapons, but the prize will still be given ...

    The Nobel Committee has discredited itself long ago. Even before Obama became the "dove of peace" in absentia.

      This is nothing. But they could give "White Helmets" or "Girl Banya". And who knows: the candidacy of the "President of the World" was considered?

      Nobel Prize for trying to eliminate real protection from the United States.
      Nuclear weapons will be buried only if more sophisticated weapons of mass destruction appear. In the meantime, nuclear weapons, strangely enough, this sounds like a guarantee of the absence of full-scale wars.

      It is time for Russia to stop financing the Nobel Committee, since its leaders are tearing apart the international budget of the Nobel Prize Committee in the pockets of pro-American foreign agents of the CIA in the form of premium payments for their provocative work against Russia, China, etc., in the interests of Washington - and nothing more!

      I also lifted KAMAZ - but did not raise

      And what, the Nobel Committee did not react in any way? This is probably due to the fact that KAMAZ, it was necessary to try some kind of western truck .. And here I am offended by this committee because of the club of anonymous alcoholics. They also fight for a sober lifestyle. It’s not always true, but they fight, and many give up. And here? If only someone refused nuclear weapons. No Alcoholics are more worthy.

    There are options: you can award NATO if they repent of the bombing of Yugoslavia, Libya, Iraq ... and then on the list.
    More precisely, they promise to repent.

    What kind of organization is this International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons?
    Some kind of kindergarten, and nothing more. Now do kindergarten members also receive Nobel Peace Prizes? So, peacekeepers like Barack Obama are already completely over?
    If anyone else wants this award, I propose to unite and create an International Campaign to Abolish All Weapons. I’m sure that the next prize will be ours, unless, of course, there are more than one rogue in the Nobel Committee. The fact is that if there are crooks, then you have to share. And for this we need to go to them. Who has access to the members of this committee, then 15%. To members of the 35% committee. The rest is net tax-free profit. Activists, join in!

    For those who like to trump words that most Nobel laureates are from the USA ... I have a question. And if it were a prize, say Mendeleev and was held somewhere in St. Petersburg, what would be the ratio of the number of American laureates to ours?

      Well, how do you answer? Then all the prizes in the world should be received by the Norwegians, and all the other prizes should be awarded to the Swedes. Not? Just who pays, he receives. Type prestige, such as another medal on the neck. In general - pampering. A contract of the type: "do you want a Nobel? - I want to! - give a couple of green lamas and organize everything!" Although sometimes, indeed, the names of very extraordinary scientists slip through.

        And forgive the Swedes, the Norwegians are not Europe, which has been standing in an interesting pose for the United States for a long time?

          Well, there is no contradiction: he who pays receives it. About the first couple of decades I agree. And I also agree about Eurovision, although I have never watched, but only read what they write about him: the party is not clear to anyone, it is not clear to whom and all this action in an “interesting pose” - “Kama Sutra” is resting.

    MOSCOW, October 6 - RIA News. The Kremlin believes that the decision of the Nobel Committee on awarding the peace prize of the international campaign to ban nuclear weapons should be respected, said presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov. "I would not give any estimates to the decision of the Nobel Committee on awarding the Nobel Peace Prize. Here you just need to state that there is such a decision of the committee and treat it with respect, "said Peskov, answering the question of how the Kremlin could comment on the Nobel Committee’s choice." Our position is well known, which was repeatedly voiced by President Putin regarding the importance of and the lack of alternatives to nuclear parity, which is extremely important from the point of view of international security and international stability. You also know the consistent and active position of the Russian Federation, which was also formulated by President Putin aimed at non-proliferation of nuclear weapons, "said the presidential spokesman.

    These prizes, at least once, are awarded forefforts" And "fight"for something there, that is, per process, not result.

    This greatly discredits those who receive the award for the case - they find themselves in the same company with charlatans, such as Obama.

    And, characteristically, a lot of prizes were awarded for the struggle to promote democracy and human rights - which everyone understands in their own way.

    The next candidate will be for the struggle for the rights of the Sodomites.

    I think that soon it will be time for the bench (the Nobel Committee) to either reformat or close completely.
    In recent years, the committee has become so openly politicized and dances to the pin-dosov tune that even those rare prizes that really give for scientific achievements somehow faded against the background of obscurity and lost their luster and relevance.

    From this point of view - the drunk in the morning made an attempt to go to work, but did not go. They put him absenteeism and deprived of the prize. Instead, they should be handed over to the result for an “attempt” laughing

    The Nobel Committee is a collection of dolls or yogopups. I can’t judge the superiority of the winning works in medicine, chemistry, physics, etc., over other works in these areas, but here are the literature prizes, and especially the peace prize - “This is some kind of shame!”, As Schwonder said.
    It is clear that the costs of the entire performance, rewards go far from the mythical percent of Alfred’s money ...
    And who pays?
    But who pays, he orders.
    In which country is the Fed located? Who does all the weather in the world, from the media to the management of parliaments, presidents and banks?
    Who needs aggressive “tolerance”, controlled chaos, juvenile system, stupid education, the destruction of humanity to the “golden billion”?
    Will this whole system really miss an event like the Nobel Prize by?
    So there is nothing to be surprised. Everything is quite natural: Obama, Gorbachev, Sakharov, Solzhenitsyn, Brodsky, Pasternak, Arafat and all, all, all ...

    From the former prestige of the Nobel Prize, only a shadow remained, and it quickly dissipates with each such laureate. It is, moreover, that the very concept of “peace prize” is very slippery and crafty, and among its laureates are pretty villains that their homeland is not proud of (for example, Gorbachev).
    The other day, by the way, here somewhere the "President of the world" was announced, and that’s nothing, and no one even observes ordinary laureates.
