I think even President Obama didn’t believe he merited such a prestigious award.

Pu himself is a diabetic and in the months leading up to his own show trial in 2015, his family complained he was receiving inadequate treatment.Liu's show trial was held and his sentence handed down on Christmas Day 2009. His history of agitating peacefully for a fairer, freer and more democratic China stretched back to the protests in Tiananmen Square in 1989 that ended with a bloody massacre.As one commentator has noted, only two years separated President Xi Jinping and Liu yet there is a vast gulf in the difference of the two men's understanding of human dignity and value.Whether this is a coded way of expressing frustrating with the negotiations or not is, really, moot. Nominations for the prize had to be postmarked by February 1, only 12 days after Obama took office.

Now we'd like you to visualise it - what can you do?We published a list of everyone who has ever won the Nobel peace prize, based on the Nobelprize.org's list and invited Guardian users to send us their visualisations (graphic representations of the information) and mash ups (combinations of this and other data).

“Hopefully the improved international climate [Obama has fostered] could help resolve the conflict in Afghanistan.”The prize will be awarded in Oslo in December.“I do not feel that I deserve to be in the company of so many transformative figures that have been honoured by this prize,” he said.The committee said Obama, who only took up the presidency in January, had been acknowledged for his calls to reduce the world’s stockpile of nuclear weapons and working for world peace.Today, Carter described the awarding of the prize to Obama as a “bold statement of international support for his vision and commitment”.Shimon Peres, who won the prize himself in 1994, said he was happy the prize committee chose to honour the “most unusual and far-reaching impact” of Obama’s leadership.Speaking from the White House’s Rose Garden, Obama confirmed that he would accept the award, but said he would not view it as “a recognition of my own accomplishments”.Michael Cox, a North America expert at the Chatham House thinktank, said: “It is difficult to see why it would be awarded to him at this stage in his presidency.

Multilateral diplomacy has regained a central position, with emphasis on the role that the United Nations and other international institutions can play.”The announcement came as Obama’s special envoy to the Middle East, George Mitchell’s was meeting with the Israeli prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu.“We do of course hope that there will be many concrete changes over the years, but when a president makes all these changes on these ideals, which are the ideals the Norwegian Nobel Committee has had for 100 years, we felt it was right to strengthen him as much as we can in this further struggle for these ideals,” he told the Guardian.

Jimmy Carter had been out of office for more than two decades when he won in 2002.It was just before 6 a.m. that the president learned he had won the award, said Robert Gibbs, the White House press secretary.
