"The globalization that has swept away the barriers to the movement of goods,
ideas and people has also swept with it barriers that confined and localized
security threats," he said.
ElBaradei and Amano, representing the agency, accepted their Nobel gold
medals and diplomas at a gala ceremony before about 1,000 guests, including
Norway's King Harald V and Queen Sonja, at the Oslo city hall.
The award also includes 10 million Swedish kronor (euro1 million; US$1.3
million). ElBaradei said his half will go to orphanages in his native Egypt,
while the IAEA plans to establish a fund for cancer and nutritional
research.
