World Food Programme wins Nobel Peace Prize

The Nobel Peace Prize has been awarded to the United Nations World Food Programme.

Other notables for the prize are WHO, Greta Thunberg, Jacinda Ardern and the leaders of the revolution of Sudan.

“Food is the best vaccine against chaos,” said the chair of the Noble Peace Prize Committee.

“When you follow international debate and discourse, it’s definitely a tendency that international institutions seem to be discredited more than, let’s say, 20 years ago,” she said.

“It is part of populism that it has nationalistic flavor … everybody, every nation, supporting their own interests.”

“When the UN was founded, it was exactly on a great emphasis on the universalism of the world,” Reiss-Andersen added. “There also is a universal responsibility for the conditions of human mankind.”

“If you ask anybody within the UN system, they will claim that it is harder these days to get the necessary financial support for the different activities of the different agencies,” she said.
