I believe that the condition applies to acceptance of the Prize not the award of Laureate itself.
Sartre declined the prize, and so did not have to give a lecture.
{Second Edit: In anticipation of a rude demand to "Prove it" I have now had a look at the Nobel Prize website and cannot see anything there. So if DuckieTigger is demanding of proof and disbelieving of what has been said by at least 2 posters plus the news release, then they will have to go and sort it out themselves
