The Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons won this year’s Nobel Peace Prize on Friday “for its extensive efforts” to rid the world of such arsenals, the Norwegian Nobel Committee said.

“The conventions and the work of the OPCW have defined the use of chemical weapons as a taboo under international law,” the committee said. “Recent events in Syria, where chemical weapons have again been put to use, have underlined the need to enhance the efforts to do away with such weapons.”

this is nonsense!!!!!! If not for Putin, the war would have gone ahead. There wouldnt have being any chemical weapon to be destroyed by an OPCW which is unknown before now.

Putin and Malala deserved it more.
