In his acceptance speech he argued that the beginning of the C21st could be a moment 'to write a new history which makes us all proud.' Read it here. Nobel winners were meeting in Paris for a three-day summit, coinciding with celebrations marking 60 years since the UN declaration of human rights was adopted in Paris. They said Bono was chosen for the award for his global campaigning to persuade rich nations to cut Africa's debt burden, combat poverty, promote fair trade and raise funds for the treatment of HIV-AIDS and malaria. "We decided to nominate a man who has given a lot and will continue to give a great deal to the struggle for human rights, to the fight against poverty, with his music and with his words," said Italian politician Walter Veltroni, co-host of the event. "He has put pressure on the world's governments to reach the UN's Millennium Goals. To give him the prize, is to say that fight will carry on." --
