Target: Norwegian Nobel Committee and the Parliament of Norway
Goal: We call on the Norwegian Nobel Committee and relevant parliamentary authorities to uphold the Nobel Peace Prize’s founding principles by ensuring transparency, resisting undue political influence, and reaffirming the award’s commitment to genuine, lasting
The Nobel Peace Prize has long stood as a beacon for those who advance peace, justice, and international solidarity. However, recent reporting has revealed that President Donald Trump has directly lobbied Norwegian officials, including the Finance Minister, to advocate for his own candidacy. This breaks with tradition and raises concerns about the potential politicization of the prize.
While the Nobel Committee is tasked with recognizing those whose actions foster 'fraternity between nations,' the current situation highlights the risk of transactional diplomacy overshadowing substantive, sustainable peace efforts. Critics, including former State Department advisor Susan Rice, have emphasized that true peace requires more than symbolic gestures or photo opportunities.
We urge the Nobel Committee to reaffirm its commitment to the values set forth by Alfred Nobel by ensuring that the selection process remains free from personal lobbying and political pressure. The world is watching: the credibility of the Nobel Peace Prize must not be compromised by spectacle or self-promotion.
Key Demands
- Implement and publicize strict guidelines prohibiting direct lobbying or campaigning by nominees or their representatives.
- Increase transparency in the nomination and selection process, including publishing anonymized summaries of deliberations.
- Reaffirm the Nobel Peace Prize’s commitment to recognizing concrete, sustainable contributions to peace, not transactional or symbolic actions.
- Establish an independent oversight body to monitor and report on undue political influence in the nomination process.
- Engage civil society and past laureates in reviewing and updating the Nobel Peace Prize’s selection criteria to reflect contemporary challenges.
