have made calls for the Nobel Committee to revoke the prize after comments by De Klerk saying he did not believe apartheid was a crime against humanity.
Efforts to see De Klerk tried by the International Criminal Court in The Hague for crimes against humanity appear unlikely. Paragraph 10 of the Nobel Foundation’s Statutes are clear, no appeals may be made against the decision of a prize-awarding body with regard to the awarding of a prize, meaning options to seek the revocation of the De Klerk award are slim to none.
In addition, the Rome Statute which establishes the International Criminal Court names the Crime of Apartheid as among the list of Crimes Against Humanity in Article 7 but Article 11 says the Court has jurisdiction only with respect to crimes committed after the entry into force of the Statute which happened only in July of 2002.
To hell with the statutes...anything can be amended...if the people say this is wrong, that prize awarding committee will listen...
Then they must explain themselves how they overlooked the reasons not to award such a person the award in the first place.
VijayShadean Simple Simon. When since democracy did any black person in South Africa apologized for landmines on farm roads. Did antie Pat apologize for the church attacks. Did Nelson or Thabo or Cyril or Robert McBride apologize for the role they played during the terrorist attacks?
