Lê Đức Thọ [SEP] Nobel Peace Prize
Thọ and Henry Kissinger were jointly awarded the 1973 Nobel Peace Prize for their efforts in negotiating the Paris Peace Accords. However, Thọ declined to accept the award, claiming that peace had not yet been established, and that the United States and the South Vietnamese governments were in violation of the Paris Peace Accords: Kissinger who did accept the Nobel peace prize called Tho's rejection "another insolence by North Vietnam". The ceasefire would not last, with the war ending when Saigon fell in 1975 and North Vietnam captured South Vietnam.
