Extractions: Main Page See live article Alphabetical index The Nobel Peace Prize (pronounced with the stress on the second syllable of Nobel ) is one of Nobel Prizes bequested by the Swedish industrialist and inventor Alfred Nobel . Four of the five prizes are awarded in Stockholm each year, but Nobel had stipulated in his will that the Peace Prize could not be awarded in Sweden. Instead the Norwegian capital of Oslo was chosen as the award site and the Norwegian Nobel Committee, which members are chosen by the Norwegian Parliament , is appointed to select the laureate for the Peace Prize. According to the will of Alfred Nobel the prize should be awarded "to the person who shall have done the most or the best work for fraternity between the nations, for the abolition or reduction of standing armies and for the holding and promotion of peace congresses". This is a list of the Nobel Peace Prize laureates: Jean Henri Dunant (Switzerland), founder of the Red Cross and initiator of the Geneva convention (France), founder and president of the Societé Française pour l'arbitrage entre nations. ; Charles Albert Gobat , honorary secretaries of the Permanent International Peace Bureau in Berne. ;

Bibliography October is the month when the names of the Nobel prize winners are made known to the world. The winners are the people who have proved worthy to be honoured that year for their significant contributions in the fields of physics, chemistry, medicine, literature and work for peace. In addition, a Nobel memorial prize was established in 1968 The Bank of Sweden Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel. Since 1969, this prize has been awarded at the same time as the five Nobel Prizes. Many other similar prizes are of course given by other institutions all over the world, but the Nobel prizes have maintained a unique position since the first one was awarded in 1901. There are many reasons for this, but probably one of the most important is the general trust in the thoroughness of the investigations and deliberations undertaken by highly qualified persons before each award is made. In his will of 1895 Alfred Nobel stipulated that the scientific prizes and the prize for literature should be awarded by Swedish institutions. But the decision regarding the peace prize he left to a committee appointed by the Norwegian parliament, the Storting.

It is my express wish that in awarding the prizes no consideration whatever shall be given to the nationality of the candidates, but that the most worthy shall receive the prize, whether he be a Scandinavian or not. - from the will of Alfred Nobel The Nobel Peace Prize is awarded annually on December 10 by the Norwegian Nobel Comittee . Why Alfred Nobel never designated a Swedish body the job of handing out the prize, nobody knows. In Nobel's will the Norwegian Parliament (Stortinget) was tasked with selecting a peace prize committee. At the time of Nobel's death in 1896, Norway and Sweden were in a union with separate governments, currencies and legislation. A small peripheral European nation like Norway would not be regarded as using the prize to advance their own political agenda, thereby reducing its significance as an instrument for peace. Several of the laureates have been highly controversial. When the 1935 prize was awarded to peace advocate and Jew
