挪威诺贝尔委员会１０日宣布，将２００８年诺贝尔和平奖授予芬兰前总统阿赫蒂萨里（Martti Ahtisaari）。但这一结果引起争议。

诺贝尔委员会说，授予阿赫蒂萨里诺贝尔和平奖是为了表彰他为国际和平谈判所作的不懈努力，以及为解决国际冲突起到的重要作用。

阿赫蒂萨里曾担任联合国负责科索沃最终地位问题的谈判特使，并建议科索沃在“国际监督下独立”。科索沃于今年２月不顾塞尔维亚和俄罗斯等国的坚决反对单方面宣布独立。

塞尔维亚前总理科什图尼察表示，阿赫蒂萨里获奖是“政治性”决定，是进一步向塞尔维亚施压的迹象。俄罗斯国家杜马外事委员会副主席斯卢茨基斯说，阿赫蒂萨里有关科索沃问题的解决方案打开了“潘多拉”盒子，打破了“和平秩序”。俄罗斯国家电视台则认为授予阿赫蒂萨里诺贝尔和平奖带有“政治”色彩。

阿赫蒂萨里１９３７年出生，在１９９４年至２０００年期间担任芬兰总统。他曾担任过联合国纳米比亚问题特别代表、前南斯拉夫问题特别代表和联合国负责行政管理事务的副秘书长。在卸去总统职务后，阿赫蒂萨里还出任过联合国负责处理非洲之角人道主义问题的特使等职务。２００５年，在他斡旋和主持下，印度尼西亚政府和亚齐分离主义组织“自由亚齐运动”最终达成和平协议。当年１１月，他正式出任联合国科索沃问题谈判特使。

诺贝尔委员会的原官方稿件如下：
The Norwegian Nobel Committee has decided to award the Nobel Peace Prize for 2008 to Martti Ahtisaari for his important efforts, on several continents and over more than three decades, to resolve international conflicts. These efforts have contributed to a more peaceful world and to “fraternity between nations” in Alfred Nobel’s spirit.

Throughout all his adult life, whether as a senior Finnish public servant and President or in an international capacity, often connected to the United Nations, Ahtisaari has worked for peace and reconciliation. For the past twenty years, he has figured prominently in endeavours to resolve several serious and long-lasting conflicts. In 1989-90 he played a significant part in the establishment of Namibia’s independence; in 2005 he and his organization Crisis Management Initiative (CMI) were central to the solution of the complicated Aceh question in Indonesia. In 1999 and again in 2005-07, he sought under especially difficult circumstances to find a solution to the conflict in Kosovo. In 2008, through the CMI and in cooperation with other institutions, Ahtisaari has tried to help find a peaceful conclusion to the problems in Iraq. He has also made constructive contributions to the resolution of conflicts in Northern Ireland, in Central Asia, and on the Horn of Africa.

Although the parties themselves have the main responsibility for avoiding war and conflict, the Norwegian Nobel Committee has on several occasions awarded the Nobel Peace Prize to mediators in international politics. Today Ahtisaari is an outstanding international mediator. Through his untiring efforts and good results, he has shown what role mediation of various kinds can play in the resolution of international conflicts. The Norwegian Nobel Committee wishes to express the hope that others may be inspired by his efforts and his achievements.

Oslo, 10 October 2008
