THE NOBEL PEACE PRIZE 1989
The Norwegian Nobel Committee has decided to award the 1989 Nobel Peace
Prize to the Fourteenth Dalai Lama, Tenzing Gyatso, the religious and
political leader of the Tibetan people.
The Committee wants to emnphasize the fact that the Dalai Lama in his
struggle for the liberation of Tibet consistently has opposed the use
of violence. He has instead advocated peaceful solutions based upon
tolerance and mutual respect in order to preserve the historical and
cultural heritage of his people.
The Dalai Lama has developed his philosophy of peace from a great
reverence for all things living and upon the concept of universal
responsibility embracing all mankind as well as nature. In the opinion
of the Committee the Dalai Lama has come forward with constructive and
forward-looking proposals for the solution of international conflicts,
human rights issues, and global environmental problems.
