Corrigan Maguire says Vanunu should be Nobel Peace Laureate, not ElBaradei

press release
Friday December 09, 2005 01:54 by Mairead Corrigan Maguire - Peace People
This year's Nobel Peace Prize goes to the wrong person Summary:El Baradei reneged on inspecting Israel's nuclear arsenal. Vanunu revealed that arsenal and is still a prisoner in Israel. Vanunu should have received the Nobel Peace prize that will now be given to ElBaradei. Shame on the International Community for its silence on Mordechai Vanunu's silencing and imprisonment within Israel. The Nobel Committee in Oslo, on 10th December 2005, will award this year's Nobel Peace Prize to Mohamed ElBaradei the Chairman of the International Atomic Energy Agency. . ElBaradei acted in accordance with the Agency's decision to tighten the supervision of Iran in order to ensure that it did not develop nuclear weapons, but failed to initiate international pressure on Israel to enter into a regime of disarmament and inspection, although knowing full well that Israel is a nuclear power with an arsenal of hundreds of atomic and hydrogen bombs. Alongside this omission, he follows the policy of the Atomic Energy Agency, making no struggle for the dismantling of the nuclear arsenals of the USA, Russia, Britain, France, China and other nuclear powers. I was disappointed in this choice for the Peace Prize. |

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3Two quotes from Gideon Spiro:
"When he visited Israel last year, we, the members of the Israeli Committee for a Middle East Free of Nuclear, Biological and Chemical Weapons, approached him (elBaradei) and asked him to meet with us and with Mordechai Vanunu, and thereby to express his appreciation for Vanunu’s struggle and his suffering; but he did not respond."
"There is no doubt that the government of Israel, together with groups that it operates in the world (including but not only Jews) applied strong pressure on the Norwegian Committee not to give the Nobel Peace Prize to Vanunu. To my dismay they succeeded."

Perhaps if El Baradei had protested at the destruction of Saddam's Osirak nuclear bomb factory he would have been passed over too.

Dr. ElBaradei was not the head of the IAEA in 1981 when the Israelis bombed Osirak.
'In 1980 he became a senior fellow in charge of the International Law Program at the United Nations Institute for Training and Research. Since 1984, ElBaradei has been a senior member of the IAEA Secretariat...'
