Peace Laureate Ahtisaari Endorsed Terrorism
By Jan Oberg
I was among a handful of people worldwide who criticised the Nobel
Committee’s choice of former Finnish President Martti Ahtisaari as
Nobel Peace Prize Laureate and characterized it as a scandal.
I had two main reasons. I consider his work as “peace mediator” – a term
used repeatedly – in Kosovo incompatible with peace and with Alfred Nobel’s
three criteria, but I deliberately did not mention his work in Aceh or
Namibia of which I have no knowledge myself. Kosovo and other parts of
former Yugoslav have been something I have tried to understand since my
first visit there 34 years ago.
