Nobel Peace
Prize
The Nobel Peace Prize“The
said interest shall be divided into five equal parts, which shall be
apportioned as follows: /- - -/ one part to the person who shall have done the
most or the best work for fraternity between nations, the abolition or
reduction of standing armies and for the holding and promotion of peace
congresses.”
(Excerpt
from the will of Alfred Nobel)
Alfred
Nobel was interested in social issues. He developed a special engagement in the
peace movement. An important factor in Nobel’s interest in peace was his
acquaintance with Bertha von Suttner. Perhaps his interest in peace was also
due to the use of his inventions in warfare and assassination attempts? Peace
was the fifth and final prize area that Nobel mentioned in his will.
Henry
Dunant, founder of the Red Cross, shared the first Nobel Peace Prize in 1901
with Frédéric Passy, a leading international pacifist of the time. In addition
to humanitarian efforts and peace movements, the Nobel Peace Prize has been
awarded for work in a wide range of fields including advocacy of human rights,
mediation of international conflicts, and arms control.
The
Nobel Peace Prize is awarded by a committee of five persons who are chosen by
the Norwegian Storting (Parliament of Norway), Oslo, Norway.
