- Abstract:
The article reports on Betty Williams and Mairead Corrigan, the Roman Catholic peace women, who won the People Peace Prize award in Belfast, Northern Ireland. It mentions that the two had invoked the world with their requests for an end to sectarian bloodshed in the country. On the other hand, the Nobel Peace Prize Committee gave an award to Amnesty International (AI), the London-based human rights organization devoted to releasing political prisoners around the world. The article notes that the impartiality of AI in citing documented reports on human rights abuses in Chile, Soviet Union and Iran have proved to effective for years. Chairman Thomas Ham-marberg mentions that much of the Nobel Prize money will go to build more local organizations in Third World countries.
