Carter worked tirelessly for peace: Nobel Committee

Former US president Jimmy Carter should be praised for his “decades of untiring effort” to find peaceful solutions to international conflicts and to advance democracy and human rights, the body awarding the Nobel Peace Prize says.

Carter, who was president of the United States from 1977 to 1981, died on Sunday at age 100.

The Norwegian Nobel Committee usually refrains from commenting on the deaths of Nobel Peace Prize laureates. The last time it did so was in 2017 when ******** dissident Liu Xiaobo died in detention.

On Monday, the committee reiterated its praise of Carter citing the citation of the award the US leader received in 2002.

“Upon the death of former US president Jimmy Carter, the Norwegian Nobel Committee would like to repeat its praise for his ‘decades of untiring effort to find peaceful solutions to international conflicts, to advance democracy and human rights, and to promote economic and social development’,” the committee told Reuters.

“Earlier this fall, the Committee had the pleasure of congratulating him on his 100th anniversary, stating that his work in favour of peace, democracy and human rights will be remembered for another 100 years or more.”
