As the leader of the traditionally predominant party in Northern Ireland, David Trimble showed great political courage when, at a critical stage of the process, he advocated solutions which led to the peace agreement. As the head of the Northern Ireland government, he has taken the first steps towards building up the mutual confidence on which a lasting peace must be based.

挪威诺贝尔委员会希望这些条款的签署不仅仅是为了北爱尔兰的持久和平，同时也是激励世界上其他宗教、种族、国家间的冲突采取这样的和平解决方式。
