1970 Nobel Peace Prize
"In
recent years the 'human rights' issue has generated much interest and
debate around the world. It is a utopian issue and a noble goal to work toward.
Nevertheless, in the real world, the attainment of human rights in the
fullest sense can not be achieved so long as hundreds of millions of
poverty stricken people lack the basic necessities for life.
The right to dissent does not mean much to a person with an empty
stomach, a shirtless back, a roofless dwelling, the frustrations and
fear of unemployment and poverty, the lack of education and opportunity,
and the pain, misery and loneliness of sickness without medical care.
It is my belief that all who are born into the world have the moral right
to the basic ingredients for a decent, human life."
