We utterly deny all outward wars and strife and
fighting with outward weapons to any end and
under any pretense whatever. This is our testimony
to the whole world.
Friends Declaration of Peace to King Charles II, 1660
In 1947, the American Friends Service Committee and the British Friends Service Council received the Nobel Peace Prize, on behalf of the Religious Society of Friends, for humanitarian service, work for reconciliation, and the spirit in which these were carried out.
The Quakers have shown us that it is possible to carry into action something which is deeply rooted in the minds of many: sympathy with others; the desire to help others; that significant expression of sympathy between men, without regard to nationality or race; feelings which, when carried into deeds, must provide the foundation of a lasting peace. For this reason they are today worthy of receiving Nobel's Peace Prize.

http://www.nobel.se/peace/laureates/1947/friends-committee-lecture.html
Nobel Lecture , December 12, 1947
Quakers and Peace
Before I give my address, I want to express on behalf of Miss Backhouse and myself a word of gratitude for the very warm hospitality we have received here this week. This September I crossed the Atlantic together with one hundred Americans who had been here in Oslo either at the summer school or at the Youth Conference and I knew then what the hospitality of the Norwegians was like from the warm words of appreciation that those young people gave as I talked to them. Near my home in Massachusetts - perhaps a quarter of a mile from my house - there is a marble stone, and on this stone there is an inscription which says that near this spot Leif Eiriksson landed in Vineland in the year 1000 My address is to be on the subject of Quakers and peace. In the last two or three weeks, I have been reading all I could about the views of Mr. Alfred Nobel on the subject of war and peace. His ideas were not completely consistent and unchanging. He seems to have had several views on this subject. Sometimes he thought that war would be stopped by the invention of more terrible weapons, though he did not dream of some of the weapons which are in existence today. Sometimes he thought it would be stopped by collective force, by arbitration, or by international law, and sometimes he mentioned international friendship. These divergent views of Nobel stress the fact that the struggle against war is a struggle which - if I may use a military metaphor - may be carried on on many fronts.

In its nominating letter, the Board cited Sr. Prejean's faith-based advocacy in the United States and around the world towards abolition of the death penalty. Among her many efforts against capital punishment, Sr. Prejean testified in 1998 before the UN Commission on Human Rights in Geneva in favor of a resolution calling on Member States to establish a moratorium on executions, with a view to completely end the death penalty. The resolution passed the Commission, 26 in favor, 13 against and with 12 abstentions.

AFSC Nominates Denis Halliday And Kathy Kelly For The Nobel Peace Prize
WASHINGTON - April 21 - The American Friends Service Committee (AFSC) has nominated Denis Halliday and Kathy Kelly for a joint 2000 Nobel Peace Prize. The commitment and courage of these nominees illustrate the far-reaching impact of the actions of individuals in the cause of peace. In the nomination letter to the Nobel Committee Don Reeves, AFSC General Secretary (Interim) stated: "Taken together, the work of Kathleen Kelly and Denis Halliday represents a comprehensive approach to the problem of economic sanctions against Iraq and the devastation wrought on the population of that country, particularly the children." On the cusp of ten years of the most comprehensive sanctions in modern time, the humanitarian crisis in Iraq, sadly neglected for many years has already taken the lives of more than one million Iraqis. During those ten years the AFSC has expressed repeatedly its deep concerns over the increase in infant and child mortality, decline in health and education standards, and overall rise in death rates from preventable and treatable illnesses-all resulting from the effects of the economic sanctions on the people of Iraq. Kathy Kelly is a cofounder of Voices in the Wilderness, the first U.S. grassroots organization to bring activists into Iraq to witness the effect of sanctions, to bring food and medicine to the people of Iraq, and to educate the public upon their return.

American Friends Service Committee
(AFSC), organization to promote peace and reconciliation through programs of social service and public information, founded by American and Canadian Friends (Quakers) in 1917. In World War I, the AFSC helped conscientious objectors to find work in relief projects and ambulance units as an alternative to military service. In World War II it broadened the scope of alternative-service possibilities to include duty in mental hospitals and other humanitarian work. In peacetime the AFSC continued such national and international programs as community development, racial reconciliation, aid to migrant workers, relief to civilians in war-torn areas, and refugee work. Its program of Voluntary International Service Assignments (VISA) served as a model for the U.S. Peace Corps. In 1947 the AFSC was awarded the Nobel Prize for Peace jointly with the Friends Service Council, its British counterpart. The AFSC is financed by contributions from individuals, foundations, and, in some cases, governments of countries where its programs are carried out. Headquarters of the organization are in Philadelphia.

New York, 29 May 1997 The American Friends Service Committee, together with its British partner, the Friends Service Council, accepted the peace prize 50 years ago on behalf of the Religious Society of Friends. That body, the Quakers, has been committed since its founding to the establishment of a world without weapons. Despite that clearly absolutist position, we believe that this goal must inevitably be achieved incrementally. Consequently, we are joining enthusiastically in the initiative of President Arias for a Code of Conduct on weapons transfers. We are committed to developing a grassroots campaign in support of the Code, emphasizing in our educational efforts the linkages among violence in ourselves, violence in our communities and violence among peoples and nations, and their connection in turn to the availability of weapons.

The Community of Sant'Egidio is a worldwide community of more than 40,000 members who work for the cause of peace in more than 60 countries around the globe. "The Sant'Egidio Community demonstrates the important role that non-governmental organizations can play in conflict resolution by bringing together parties to violent conflicts for face-to-face discussions of their common future," said Margery Walker, clerk of the AFSC Nobel Nominating Committee. "Their commitment to nonviolence and their sustained and effective peacebuilding work amply qualify the Community of Sant'Egidio to join the ranks of other Nobel Peace Laureates who have pointed the way toward world peace."
