Comité

En el blog de People's Cube había una referencia a esto y se me dió por meterme....

Ustedes sabían que la composición del comité que entrega el premio nobel de la Paz, refleja el porcentaje de las bancadas del parlamento noruego ? Es muy ilustrativo ver quienes son, y de donde viene cada uno... para entender el por qué de algunos premios (los énfasis del texto son míos).

La verdad, me quedo con el jurado de Feliz Domingo y su presidente, el célebre escribano Prato Murphy.

The Norwegian Nobel Committee

The Peace Prize is awarded by a committee of five, appointed by the Storting (the Norwegain parliament). According to rules laid down by the Storting, election to the committee is for a six-year term, and members can be re-elected. The committee's composition reflect the relative strengths of the political parties in the Storting. Although this is not a requirement, all committee members have been Norwegian nationals. The committee elects its own chairman and deputy chairman. The Director of the Nobel Institute serves as secretary to the committee. [...]

The Nobel Committee is completely independent. In its assessment of nominations for awards, it receives no instructions or directives. According to the statutes of the Nobel Foundation, there must be no mention in the minutes of any Nobel Committee meetings of the contents of discussions relating to choices of candidates for the various awards, nor must any differences of opinion in committees be divulged in other ways. For that reason, committee members take no part in the public debates which follow the announcement of decisions.

All meetings of the Nobel Committee are held in a special conference room in the Nobel Institute, under an array of pictures of all individual Peace Prize Laureates.
