Nobel Peace Prize laureates — 2015 to 2024
The Norwegian Nobel Committee has awarded the Peace Prize since 1901 to those who, in the words of Alfred Nobel's will, have "done the most or the best work for fraternity between nations, the abolition or reduction of standing armies, and the holding and promotion of peace congresses." The past decade gives a snapshot of what the world's most prominent peace recognition has highlighted.
