The U.S. president Barack Obama has been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize "for his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation among peoples."

The President of the Norwegian Nobel Committee, Thorbjoern Jagland, said that perhaps some assignment to the American president can be considered premature, but that the prize should be assigned by statute to those who have done the most for peace in the previous year .

"Only very rarely someone like Obama has managed to capture the attention of the world and give hope for a better future," reads widely in the grounds by the Committee, explaining how the diplomacy of the U.S. President is "based on the concept that those who lead the world should do so on the basis of values ��and attitudes shared by the majority of the population. "

The Committee concluded by stressing the special importance of the project and the White House for a world without nuclear weapons: "As president, Obama has created a new climate in international politics: the multilateral diplomacy has regained a central position, with a ' emphasis on the role that the United Nations and other international organizations can play. "

States President said he was "honored" for being awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, the news received by Gibbs to inform him that he woke up. Obama said that he accepted the award "with deep humility" and adding: "I'm not sure you deserve it." Mixed reactions to a premium in world: Middle East, and there are those who welcomed the brakes. The applause convinced of moderate voices, some message for the occasion, but even the skeptical reactions - sometimes piqued - who in a revival of the peace process in the Middle East can not or will not believe. That's how Israelis and Palestinians have welcomed the news today of the Nobel Prize awarded to Barack Obama, with great vividness and bounced as much of a surprise in theaters of conflict more complex on the planet.
