The Nobel Peace Prize, established by Swedish inventor and industrialist Alfred Nobel, is awarded annually to individuals recognised for outstanding contributions. These contributions are aimed at fostering fraternity between nations, reducing armies, and promoting peace congresses. Since its inception in 1901, the prize has been presented by the Norwegian Nobel Committee, selected through nominations by the Norwegian Parliament.

This prestigious award acknowledges those who uphold Nobel's founding ideals. However, its presentation has been interrupted on several occasions due to global conflicts, including World War I and World War II, as well as other specific circumstances. The committee's mandate requires that no prize be awarded if no suitable living candidate meets the criteria, ensuring the award's integrity and significance.
