This year the Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to Barack Obama "for his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples". The Nobel Prize Committee said that "His diplomacy is founded in the concept that those who are to lead the world must do so on the basis of values and attitudes that are shared by the majority of the world's population".
The Nobel Prize for Peace in 2008 awarded Martti Ahtisaari "for his important efforts, on several continents and over more than three decades, to resolve international conflicts".
