Nobel Peace Price

The Nobel Peace Prize is one of the five Nobel Prizes established by Alfred Nobel's will, awarded annually to individuals who have made significant contributions to fraternity between nations, the abolition or reduction of standing armies, and the promotion of peace congresses. The prize is selected by the Norwegian Nobel Committee and has been awarded since 1901, with the most recent recipient being Narges Mohammadi from Iran for her work in fighting against the oppression of women in Iran. The prize has been the subject of numerous controversies due to its political nature, and its reasoning behind the peace prize category is unclear, with some suggesting it was Nobel's way to compensate for developing destructive forces.learn more on wikipedia
