The Norwegian Nobel Committee honors the Belarusian Ales Bialiatski, the Russian human rights organization Memorial and the Ukrainian “Center for Civil Liberties” with the most important peace prize on earth.
Dhe Nobel Peace Prize 2022 goes to Ales Bialiatski from Belarus, the Russian organization Memorial and the Ukrainian human rights organization Center for Civil Liberties. This was announced by the Norwegian Nobel Committee on Friday in Oslo.
The Nobel Peace Prize is the only one not awarded in Stockholm, Sweden, but in the Norwegian capital, Oslo. All Nobel prizes this year are endowed with ten million Swedish crowns (almost 920,000 euros) per category. They are traditionally presented on December 10th, the anniversary of the death of prize donor and dynamite inventor Alfred Nobel (1833-1896).
The last German prizewinner was ex-Chancellor Willy Brandt more than 50 years ago: he was honored in 1971 for his Ostpolitik, which helped to ease the tension in the Cold War.
