노벨평화상 수상식 동영상

노르웨이 노벨위원회는 한국과 동아시아에서 민주주의와 인권을 위해, 그리고 특히 북한과의 평화와 화해를 위해 노력한 업적을 기려 2000년 노벨평화상을 김대중 대한민국 대통령에게 수여하기로 결정했다.
한국이 수십년간 전제주의의 통치하에 있을 때, 수차례의 생명에 대한 위협과 장기간의 망명생활에도 불구하고 김대통령은 점차적으로 한국 민주주의를 대표하는 인물로 부상했다. 1997년 그가 대통령에 당선됨으로써 한국은 세계의 민주국가 대열에 확고히 자리잡았다. 대통령으로서 김대중씨는 확고한 민주 정부의 수립과 한국에서의 내부적 화합 증진을 추구해 왔다.
강력한 도덕적 힘을 바탕으로 김대통령은 인권을 제한하려는 시도들에 맞서 동아시아 인권수호자의 역할을 수행해 왔다. 버마(미얀마)의 민주주의를 지지하고 동티모르의 인권탄압에 반대하는 그의 헌신적 노력 역시 괄목할만한 것이었다.





The Norwegian Nobel Committee has decided to award the Nobel Peace Prize for 2000 to Kim Dae Jung for his work for democracy and human rights in South Korea and in East Asia in general, and for peace and reconciliation with North Korea in particular.
In the course of South Korea's decades of authoritarian rule, despite repeated threats on his life and long periods in exile, Kim Dae Jung gradually emerged as his country's leading spokesman for democracy. His election in 1997 as the republic's president marked South Korea's definitive entry among the world's democracies. As president, Kim Dae Jung has sought to consolidate democratic government and to promote internal reconciliation within South Korea.
With great moral strength, Kim Dae Jung has stood out in East Asia as a leading defender of universal human rights against attempts to limit the relevance of those rights in Asia. His commitment in favour of democracy in Burma and against repression in East Timor has been considerable.

Through his "sunshine policy", Kim Dae Jung has attempted to overcome more than fifty years of war and hostility between North and South Korea. His visit to North Korea gave impetus to a process which has reduced tension between the two countries. There may now be hope that the cold war will also come to an end in Korea. Kim Dae Jung has worked for South Korea's reconciliation with other neighbouring countries, especially Japan.
The Norwegian Nobel Committee wishes to express its recognition of the contributions made by North Korea's and other countries' leaders to advance reconciliation and possible reunification on the Korean peninsula.
Oslo, 13 October 2000
