Criminal investigation of the Nobel Peace Prize
Media release
Lund and Oslo, April 25, 2014
The management of the Nobel Peace Prize has become a case for the
Norwegian police, following a request for criminal investigation from
16 prominent Scandinavians, parliamentarians, lawyers, authors and
peace activists, 10 Swedes and 6 Norwegians, to the authority on
economic crime, the ØKOKRIM.
The move is based on the research of Norwegian lawyer Fredrik S.
Heffermehl who in his books has called for respect for Alfred Nobel
and the peace plan he wished to support.
- "In his last years Nobel joined the peace movement and wished to
support financially its idea of co-operation on disarmament to replace
military force and forces. The Norwegian Parliament appoints the five-
member selection committee that must step down and be replaced by
people who favor the idea of the prize,” says Heffermehl.
He claims that his demands through 6 years, and even an order in March
2012 from the Swedish Foundations Authority have not led the awarders
to show any interest in Nobel and what he really wanted.
- "This is unlawful and criminal, and the requested police
investigation comes as a last resort to secure justice for “the
champions of peace” Nobel specified in his will.
The letter of accusation points in particular to Thorbjørn Jagland,
the chair of the Nobel Committee and the incumbent Secretary General
of the Council of Europe, and to Geir Lundestad, the powerful
secretary of the committee.
- “The laws must be respected also by politicians, it is particularly
worrisome that the Nobel awarders act as if they were above the law
and seem to feel confident that society will not enforce the law
against them,” says Sweden´s Tomas Magnusson, a former president of
the International Peace Bureau.
- “Ignoring dissent and mowing down dissidents is a dangerous path to
embark on. If we allow such norms to become political standard, how
much democracy do we then have?”
