奥斯陆,10月6日——挪威诺贝尔和平奖委员会秘书表示,该委员会正密切关注动荡中的世界秩序演变情况,以及那些致力于推动符合该奖项宗旨的新型合作模式的人士。

OSLO, Oct 6 - The Nobel Peace Prize committee is closely watching the reshaping of a world order in turmoil, and those fostering new ways of cooperating that match the award's goals, its secretary says.

克里斯蒂安·贝格·哈普维肯是由五名成员组成的挪威诺贝尔委员会的秘书。他负责整理相关资料并参与讨论,但无投票权。今年的获奖者名单将于周五公布。

Kristian Berg Harpviken, secretary of the five-member Norwegian Nobel Committee, prepares its dossiers and joins the deliberations but does not vote. This year's announcement is on Friday.

周一接受采访时,哈普维肯从宏观层面谈到了委员会的工作,称其正密切关注国际秩序的变化。

Speaking in general terms about the committee's work in an interview on Monday, Harpviken said it was closely following the changes in the international order.

“我们知道当前秩序的构成,但不清楚其中有多少能够延续下去、会以何种形式延续,更无法预知未来会出现怎样的秩序,”他说道,“这一点委员会当然在讨论中予以高度重视,因为当前国际上出现的某些趋势正威胁着诺贝尔和平奖历来所倡导的诸多价值观。”

"We know what we're leaving behind, we don't know how much of it will survive, and in what form, and we certainly don't know what will come," he said. "That is something that the committee, of course, takes very seriously in its discussions, also because some of the trends we are seeing internationally are trends that are threatening to many of the values that the Nobel Peace Prize has upheld throughout its history."

诺贝尔和平奖由瑞典实业家阿尔弗雷德·诺贝尔在1895年通过遗嘱设立,旨在授予“为促进各国友好关系、削减或废除常备军以及推动和平会议之召开与推广作出最大或最杰出贡献的人”。

Created by Swedish industrialist Alfred Nobel in 1895 in his will, the Peace Prize goes to the person "who has done the most or best to advance fellowship among nations, the abolition or reduction of standing armies, and the establishment and promotion of peace congresses".

当被问及委员会是否有可能在未来选出致力于构建新世界秩序的获奖者时,哈普维肯答道:“显然,在当前这一转型时期,那些能够着手建立新机制、发起新倡议、探索新工作方式且符合阿尔弗雷德·诺贝尔在遗嘱中所定目标的人士,正是委员会所关注的对象。归根结底,这些标准正是委员会评判获奖者的依据,也是我们重点考察的方向。”

Asked whether the committee could at some stage name a laureate concerned with how this new world order should look, Harpviken said: "Of course, it's clear that people who are able to, within the transition period we are now seeing, start to stake out new institutions, new initiatives, new ways of working, that would be in harmony with the very objectives that Alfred Nobel defined in his will. "Because, ultimately, that is of course the yardstick for what the committee does.

哈普维肯还指出,尽管当前世界局势动荡不安,但优秀的候选人依然层出不穷,诺贝尔和平奖也并未因此丧失其重要意义。“我并不担心能否获奖,但我担心世界会走向何方。”——路透社

That would obviously be something that the committee would be looking for." The fact that the world is in upheaval does not mean that there is a want of candidates, or that the Peace Prize is losing its relevance, Harpviken said, adding: "I'm not worried about the prize, but I am worried about where the world is heading."
