CSMonitor: '94 Peace Prize Winners All 'Have Blood on Their Hands'
The Christian Science Monitor’s Dan Murphy and Tom Sullivan examined the politics behind the awarding of the Nobel Peace Prize on Friday,and while looking back at past winners, the two equally blamed the 1994Prize winners- Yithak Rabin, Shimon Peres, and Yasser Arafat- for theultimate failure of their peace efforts: “All three men could be saidto have blood on their hands from that conflict.”Murphy and Sullivan began by acknowledging how “the surprisedecision to award President Barack Obama the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize hadmuch of the world scratching its head on Friday, even among thepresident’s most ardent fans.” After expounding on the President’s“loft promises...to diplomacy... and that a less belligerent America isin the offing,” the two reporters continued that “the peace prize hasoften been awarded more in hope than hindsight — and with an eye tonudging world events.”
The first examples of a “peace prize...awarded more in hope” citedby Murphy and Sullivan were the 1996 winners: “The 1996 award of thepeace prize to Cardinal Carlos Belo and politician Jose Ramos Horta —both prominent campaigners for East Timorese independence fromIndonesia — put a spotlight on their cause and helped create theconditions that led to Indonesia’s pullout from the country in 1999.”
The Monitor reporters juxtaposed this with the winners from two years before:
“The controversial awarding of the 1994 prize to Israeli PrimeMinister Yitzahk Rabin, Foreign Minister Shimon Peres, and PalestineLiberation Organization leader Yasser Arafat was less successful.Though the three men eventually signed the Oslo Accords that seemed tohave the two nations on a path toward peace, that effort eventuallybroke down. All three men could be said to have blood on their handsfrom that conflict, and Mr. Arafat died without achieving his dream ofan independent Palestinian state. Mr. Rabin was assassinated in 1995 byan Israeli furious that he was negotiating land concessions.”
What’s peculiar about this analysis on the part of Murphy andSullivan is their seeming to blame Rabin for the dissolution of thepeace process, even after acknowledging that he had been assassinated ayear after being awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. It is widelyacknowledged that the peace process broke down after the Camp DavidSummit hosted by then-President Clinton in 2000, five years afterRabin’s death. Peres, at that point, was not an active participant inthe Israeli government. The only recipient of the 1994 Prize that waspresent at that summit was Arafat, who is widely blamed for the failurefor the talks in 2000. So how can “all three men could be said to haveblood on their hands”?
