The Nobel Peace Prize 1989 was awarded to H.H. The 14th Dalai Lama first and foremost for his consistent resistance to the use of violence in his people's struggle to regain their liberty. Ever since 1959 the Dalai Lama, together with some one hundred thousand of his countrymen, has lived in an organised community in exile in India. This is by no means the first community of exiles in the world, but it is assuredly the first and only one that has not set up any militant liberation movement. This policy of nonviolence is all the more remarkable when it is considered in relation to the sufferings inflicted on the Tibetan people during the occupation of their country.
When the Dalai Lama was awarded the Peace Prize in 1989, the chairman of the Nobel committee said that this was "in part a tribute to the memory of Mahatma Gandhi".
