 Nobel's Will

FREDRIK HEFFERMEHL, fredpax at online.no, http://nobelwill.org
   A Norwegian lawyer, Heffermehl is author of the book "Nobel's
Will," which argues that "since 1948 the parties in the Norwegian
parliament have misused the Nobel Committee seats to reward party
veterans lacking insight in the peace politics that Nobel wished to
support. Over half of the awards since 1946 have not conformed with
the intention of Nobel, who wished to change the international system
in order to end wars and armaments."

   Heffermehl said today: "When Nobel called upon the parliament of
Norway to give his prize to 'champions of peace' he had in mind those
who work for a fundamental change of the world where nations could
safely abolish national military forces. Obama is light-years of
improvement after Bush, but still I do not see him having any
intention of abolishing his own or other military forces.

   "In my book 'Nobels vilje' ('Nobel's Will,' 2008) I argued that the
Nobel Committee has a fantastic chance to make a relevant and useful
contribution towards the world's most urgent problem, if they would
only understand and use the prize to support the fundamental change of
international relations that Nobel had in mind. They still have a
great chance to improve. ..."
