ICOT, why do you think the Nobel Prize committee awarded the Peace Prize to Carter “largely for his part in the nuclear negotiations with North Korea”? In the statement announcing the award, the committee mentioned the Camp David accords of 1978, & didn’t mentioned North Korea at all. Neither did the speeches delivered at the time the award was presented. These speeches reiterated that the award was mostly in recognition of Carter’s work on the Camp David accords, and also mentioned his efforts in fighting disease & supervising elections.
I do believe that the timing of his selection was likely politically motivated, but there’s no evidence that the award had much to do with the North Korean negotiations.
