BarackObama was born from a white American mother, Ann Dunham, and a black Kenyanfather, Barack Obama Sr., who were both young college students at the University of Hawaii. When his father left forHarvard, she and Barack stayed behind, and his father ultimately returned aloneto Kenya,where he worked as a government economist. Barack's mother remarried anIndonesian oil manager and moved to Jakartawhen Barack was six. He later recounted Indonesia as simultaneously lushand a harrowing exposure to tropical poverty. He returned to Hawaii, where he was brought up largely byhis grandparents. The family lived in a small apartment - his grandfather was afurniture salesman and an unsuccessful insurance agent and his grandmotherworked in a bank - but Barack managed to get into Punahou School, Hawaii'stop prep academy. His father wrote to him regularly but, though he traveledaround the world on official business for Kenya, he visited only once, whenBarack was ten.Martti Ahtisaari

UnitedNations (U.N.)
KofiAnnan
TheNobel Peace Prize 2001 was awarded jointly to United Nations (U.N.) and KofiAnnan "for their work for a better organized and more peacefulworld"
I think that the Arab peace initiative and UN will win Nobel Peace Prizefor the next year.
The ArabPeace Initiative:
The ArabPeace Initiative is a comprehensive peace initiative first proposed in 2002at the Beirut Summit of the Arab League by then-Crown Prince, King Abdullah ofSaudi Arabia, andre-endorsed at the Riyadh Summit in 2007.
I've chosen it, because it had asked Israel toreconsider its policies and tend to him declaring that just peace is itsstrategic option.
TheUnited Nations Organization:
The UnitedNations Organization (UNO) or simply the United Nations (UN) is an internationalorganization whosestated aims are facilitating cooperation in international law, internationalsecurity, economicdevelopment, social progress, human rights, and achievement of world peace. The UN was founded in 1945 after World War II to replace the League of Nations, to stop wars between countries, and toprovide a platform for dialogue. It contains multiple subsidiary organizationsto carry out its missions.
I've chosen it, because it has organized aseries of talks between Moroccoand the Frente Polisario to resolve the dispute over Western Sahara and find a solution to this issue.
If these organizations obtained the Nobel Peace Prize will redouble itsefforts to maintain world peace.
