FILE - A Tuesday, Dec. 8, 2020 file photo of a Nobel medal displayed during a ceremony in New York. The foundation that administers the prestigious Nobel awards has reversed its invitation policy and invited Russia, Belarus and Iran, and all members of the Swedish parliament, including a far-right party leader, who earlier have been banned. Vidar Helgesen, head of the private foundation said Thursday, Aug.
To counter that, he said, “we are now broadening our invitations to celebrate and understand the Nobel Prize and the importance of free science, free culture and free, peaceful societies.” Last year, the diplomatic envoys of Russia and Belarus were barred from attending the glittery prize ceremonies and banquets, which always take place on Dec. 10, because of the war in Ukraine, and the ambassador of Iran was also excluded because of “the serious and escalating situation” in the country.
