People unclear on the concept: Lloyd Axworthy

| No Comments
From his profile at: National Speakers Bureau
An eloquent statesman, Nobel Peace Prize Nominee Lloyd Axworthy believes foreign policy isn't just for diplomats and hopes to create a centre for information-based dialogue, conferencing and learning, connecting with other similar institutions around the world and with the public.
Emphasis mine -- I had run into the Nobel Peace Prize Nominee issue once before so I emailed them and received a very nice reply from the Secretary of the Norwegian Peace Prize Committee who said that the names of the nominees are held confidential for 50 years. Basically, anyone claiming to be a Peace Prize Nominee is either:
  • lying,
  • were misinformed and didn't check their #@$^ing facts or,
  • are clueless and misinformed by people who are liars.
Anyway, I sent off a question regarding this to the National Speakers Bureau and will publish their reply. UPDATE: I checked the Peace Prize websites and they DO NOW OFFER the info with the 50-year cutoff date. Here is their database of nominees from 1901 through 1951 -- nothing more recent because they keep nominees names confidential for 50 years. Here is their website where they say the following:
Observing the rules given in the statutes of the Nobel Foundation, the Committee does not publish the names of candidates.
At the time I made my inquiry (two years ago), they did not have this information on their website. I guess they have had enough problems with bogus liars claiming nomination that they put this info online.
