Re: Nobel prize fo Michael?
Michael would have to take part in the worlds political or/and economical issues be really active publicly. Sorry but just singing about world peace and repeating "I love all of you" isn't really enough. And his humanitarian efforts aren't on large scale to be taken seriously for nobel. Maybe if HTW- foundation had lasted things may be different.
If doing charity was enough reason to be nominated an to win a nobel peace prize then the whole hollywood should have been nominated.
Qualifications to win a nobel peace prize in the 21st century:
"important efforts, on several continents and over more than three decades, to resolve international conflicts."
"for their efforts to build up and disseminate greater knowledge about man-made climate change, and to lay the foundations for the measures that are needed to counteract such change."
"for their efforts to create economic and social development from below"
"for their efforts to prevent nuclear energy from being used for military purposes and to ensure that nuclear energy for peaceful purposes is used in the safest possible way."
"for her contribution to sustainable development, democracy and peace"
"for her efforts for democracy and human rights"
"for his decades of untiring effort to find peaceful solutions to international conflicts, to advance democracy and human rights, and to promote economic and social development"
"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."
These were the reasons why the prize was won.
