Established in 1895, the Nobel Peace Prize is one of five “Nobel Prizes” established by the will of Alfred Nobel, and is awarded by the Norwegian Nobel Committee “to the person who shall have done the most or the best work for fraternity between nations, for the abolition or reduction of standing armies and for the holding and promotion of peace congresses.” Unlike the Nobel Prizes for Chemistry, Physics, Physiology or Medicine, and Literature, the Nobel Peace Prize may also be awarded to an organization.
With the Nobel Peace Prize presented on December 10, with the recipient to be announced in October, nominations have already started for 2021’s award. Jared Kushner, who was at the forefront of the Trump administration’s unprecedented achievements regarding peace in the Middle East, has been nominated. So has Stacey Abrams, apparently for promoting “nonviolent change via the ballot box.”
