At a time when Russia threatens the use of nuclear weapons in Ukraine, Israel and Iran escalate tensions, North Korea tests missiles and warheads… it is hard not to relate the award to these circumstances.

Perhaps the committee thought it was best to express its opinion on current conflicts indirectly, as it has done so in the past.

I do agree, and this is my point: this particular committee expressing concern rather than celebrating success is a source of lament to me.
