In view of the war in Ukraine, the climate crisis and other conflicts in the world, it will be announced on Friday who will be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize this year. The Norwegian Nobel Committee plans to announce the winner(s) at 11 a.m. in Oslo.
This time there are 351 candidates in the running for the most important political prize on earth, including 259 people and 92 organizations – who is among these nominees is traditionally kept secret by the Nobel institutions for 50 years.
Last year, the Nobel Peace Prize went to the imprisoned Belarusian human rights lawyer Ales Byaljazki as well as the human rights organizations Memorial from Russia and the Center for Civil Liberties from Ukraine. They were honored, among other things, for their commitment to civil societies in their home countries, the right to criticize power and the protection of the basic rights of citizens.
The Nobel Peace Prize is the only Nobel Prize that is not awarded in the Swedish capital Stockholm, but in the Norwegian capital Oslo. The winners in the categories of medicine, physics, chemistry and literature had already been announced in Stockholm from Monday to Thursday. At the end of this year’s prize announcements, the Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences will follow on Monday. This time, all prizes are worth eleven million crowns (around 950,000 euros) per category.
