Following yesterdayโ€™s announcement, His Holiness the Dalai Lama has written today to Navi Pillay to congratulate her on being named this yearโ€™s recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize in recognition of her efforts to promote peace and international law.

โ€œYou have devoted your life to the cause of people around the world who are denied their rights,โ€ he wrote.

โ€œI have long believed that a country governed by the rule of law, with an independent judiciary and a free press, is best placed to serve its own people and, in turn, the wider global community. Where the rule of law is absent, injustice and suffering inevitably follow.

โ€œAs a Tibetan, I deeply appreciate your efforts, during your tenure as UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, to call on China to address the underlying issues in Tibet.โ€

His Holiness concluded โ€œI warmly welcome you to the community of Nobel Peace Laureates and look forward to your continued contribution to making the world a better place for us all.โ€
