Nobel Prize President Kim Dae-jung, Winner of the Nobel Peace Prize 2000 N orwegian Nobel Committee Announcement The following is the full text of the announcement by the Norwegian Nobel Committee in Oslo on October 13, 2000, naming President Kim Dae-jung of the Republic of Korea as the winner of the Nobel Peace Prize 2000. The Norwegian Nobel Committee has decided to award the Nobel Peace Prize for 2000 to Kim Dae Jung for his work for democracy and human rights in South Korea and in East Asia in general, and for peace and reconciliation with North Korea in particular. In the course of South Korea's decades of authoritarian rule, despite repeated threats on his life and long periods in exile, Kim Dae-jung gradually emerged as his country's leading spokesman for democracy. His election in 1997 as the republic's president marked South Korea's definitive entry among the world's democracies. As president, Kim Dae Jung has sought to consolidate democratic government and to promote internal reconciliation within South Korea. With great moral strength, Kim Dae-jung has stood out in East Asia as a leading defender of universal human rights against attempts to limit the relevance of those rights in Asia. His commitment in favour of democracy in Burma and against repression in East Timor has been considerable.

We have just concluded our research meeting, which took place Oct. 25-28. We would like to express our deep thanks to your excellency, the Korean government officials, the Korea Campaign to Ban Landmines (KCBL) staff, and the Korean people for the warm hospitality and kind assistance extended to us while we held our meeting here. We have learned much about the landmine problem in Korea by visiting the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) and meeting with civilian landmine victims. In particular, we would like to convey our special thanks to your excellency for your strong interest in the landmine issue: South Korea’s ratification of the Convention on Conventional Weapons (CCW) Amended Protocol II and raising the landmine issue at the June 15 summit meeting with Chairman Kim Jong-Il of North Korea last year. Since the historic summit meeting, much progress has been made in the improvement of mutual relations between the North and South, including a governmental agreement to build a transportation connection across the DMZ, requiring removal of thousands of antipersonnel landmines in its pathway. We sincerely hope that both governments of Korea will continue to cooperate, overcoming all obstacles, on this important project so that it could be completed in the near future.

Kim, who is in the Norwegian capital of Oslo for the awards ceremony, was quoted as telling reporters that he doubted the reunification could happen during his term in office, which will end in February 2002. It may take 10 years, or 20 years, perhaps even longer to achieve the reunification, said Kim. But he also pointed out that five decades of division on the Korean peninsula after centuries of unity was "an aberration" and reunification was the "ultimate dream." South Korea will work harder with the Democratic People's Republic of Korea ( DPRK ) to help more separated families get reunions, Kim added.

Kim Dae-jung, Nobel Peace Prize winner The year's top peacemaker, Kim works to bring peace to two countries after a half-century of war October 13 was an extraordinary day for Kim Dae-jung, the 74-year-old President of South Korea. That's when he became the first South Korean to win a Nobel Peace Prize. After decades of struggling for democracy, it was also an amazing moment for the people of Korea. Born in 1925, Kim Dae-jung saw his homeland torn apart by the separation of his country into South Korea and North Korea. In 1950, North Korean troops invaded South Korea. Though the Korean War finally ended three years later, neither side officially won. A lasting peace treaty has never been signed. When Kim entered politics in 1954, he became well-known for his fight against South Korea's harsh military leaders. Arrested and threatened with execution many times, Kim continued to pursue his dream of bringing democracy to South Korea and of reuniting the two Koreas. By the late 1980s, South Korea's military leaders were forced to allow free, direct elections. Kim was elected President of South Korea in 1997 and has worked to improve relations with the North. This June, Kim made a historic visit to Pyongyang, the capital of North Korea, for a meeting with North Korea's leader, Kim Jong-il. It was the first meeting ever between leaders of the two Koreas. While the struggle to reunite North and South Korea isn't over, Kim Dae-jung's Nobel Peace Prize is a tribute to his achievements and a shining ray of hope for the future.

NEW RULES ARE NEEDED FOR AWARDING THE NOBEL PEACE PRIZE After the decision to award President Kim Dae-jung of South Korea the prestigious Nobel Prize for Peace, I would suggest that the honorable Royal Academy of Norway change its rules. If the rules were amended, maybe the selection would also be easier. This year, no fewer than 150 candidates were on the list for consideration. Let's make no mistake. What Mr. Kim has done in terms of reconciliation with North Korea is great. However, in my opinion, the Royal Academy decided to select probably one of the less deserving of the candidates. What is most scandalous are some of the motivations for awarding the Prize to the South Korean president. "Kim Dae-jung is a central defender of universal human rights," said the chairman of the Committee, Mr. Gunnar Berge, when he announced the decision this morning in Oslo. The Committee should have asked the South Korean trade unions about that and checked on what Mr. Kim has been doing since he was elected president of the country. The police have jailed hundreds and hundreds of trade union leaders. Strikes have been repressed. Companies have, together with government complicity, started campaigns against trade unions. All this under the benevolent supervision of the president of the country, Kim Dae-jung.

Updated daily Monday through Friday Monday, October 16, 2000 South Korea's Kim wins Nobel Prize Published: October 15, 2000 Source: The China Post n Friday, the Nobel Committee announced that South Korean President Kim Dae Jung had been awarded this year's Nobel Peace Prize to commemorate his work in seeking reconciliation between South and North Korea. The award was not only highly justified, as President Kim's efforts have finally begun to bear fruit, but also because Kim's achievements stand as a positive example for both sides of the Taiwan Strait to follow. In a statement released to the press, the Nobel Committee said President Kim had been chosen for the coveted honor after spending a lifetime working for democracy and human rights in his own country, as well as peace in the entire Korean Peninsula. "With great moral strength, Kim Dae Jung has stood out in East Asia as a leading defender of universal human rights against attempts to limit the relevance of those rights in Asia," the committee said. "There may now be hope that the Cold War will also come to an end in Korea," it said.

Editorial/Op-Ed from SILICON VALLEY Gillmor Feature POINT OF VIEW/ INTERVIEW/ Yoichi Funabashi: Kim Dae Jung, like Icarus, flew too close to sun Amid the North Korean nuclear crisis, Kim Dae Jung stepped down and gave way to Roh Moo Hyun to head the South Korean administration. Former President Kim advocated an engagement policy aimed at building a new relationship with North Korea that has the magnanimity of the sun rather than the cold north wind. However, after it peaked with the June 2000 North-South summit, the sunshine policy went downhill. North Korean leader Kim Jong Il not only failed to pay a return call to Seoul but he also had been secretly pursuing a nuclear development project. After Pyongyang's nuclear program came out in the open, the Kim Dae Jung administration went into a severe shock and never did recover. Generally speaking, domestic public opinion toward the former president is very critical. The public seems to regard him as ``a fallen idol.''

Davis Statement on South Korean President Kim Dae Jung Winning the Nobel Peace Prize October 17, 2000 Washington, D.C. – Congressman Tom Davis (R-VA-11th) released the following statement today congratulating South Korean President Kim Dae Jung for winning the Nobel Peace Prize: "The Nobel Committee announced the decision to honor President Kim based on his ‘moral strength’ in pursuing democratic goals despite repeated threats on his life and long periods in exile. The Committee awarded President Kim with the Nobel Prize not only for his work in bringing democracy to South Korea, but for his efforts to reconcile South Korea with North Korea. "To facilitate that goal, President Kim established the ‘Sunshine Policy’ in an attempt to overcome more than fifty years of war and hostility between the two Korean nations. President Kim has said that his struggle against dictatorship was the greater achievement in his life. ‘Democracy is most important. Only when we uphold human rights and freedom, is our struggle against communism meaningful,’ he said. "Born on December 3, 1925, President Kim was the second son of four. His father was a farmer on an island in the southwestern province of Cholla. President Kim was a good student and elected a leader of his high school class. However, he learned an early lesson about democracy when he was stripped of his position, after he published an essay condemning the Japanese colonial government that controlled Korea at that time. It would be the first of many sacrifices President Kim would make before being elected to lead South Korea.
