Candidacy Criteria

The candidates eligible for the Nobel Peace Prize are those persons or organizations nominated by qualified individuals, see above. A nomination for yourself will not be taken into consideration.

Dagnabbit!

But look who is qualified to nominate someone for a Nobel Peace Prize:

• Members of national assemblies and governments of states
• Members of international courts
• University rectors; professors of social sciences, history, philosophy, law and theology; directors of peace research institutes and foreign policy institutes
• Persons who have been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize
• Board members of organizations that have been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize
• Active and former members of the Norwegian Nobel Committee; (proposals by members of the Committee to be submitted no later than at the first meeting of the Committee after February 1)
• Former advisers to the Norwegian Nobel Committee

That is a far broader range of eligible nominators than exists for the scientific prizes.

So any member of a puppet legislature or professor of grievance studies at a no-name college can nominate anyone, and it means jack except to the headline writers who don’t bother to look up the nomination process.
