“President Obama has taken some positive steps towards improving human rights in the USA and abroad, but much remains to be done,” said Irene Khan, Amnesty International's Secretary General.

“This award raises our expectations of President Obama and we look to him for decisive action to pursue peace with justice in the Middle East, end the rollback on human rights in the name of counter-terrorism, and reinforce the fight against poverty at a time of economic crisis.”

Amnesty International was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1977.
