This Video Shows All Nobel Laureates in Peace in History
The Norwegian Nobel Committee has named jailed human rights advocate from Belarus, Ales Bialiatski
The human rights champions were recognised for an “outstanding effort to document war crimes, human right abuses and the abuse of power”, the Committee said in a statement. “Together they demonstrate the significance of civil society for peace and democracy,” it added.
The Nobel Prize for Peace is awarded, according to the will of Swedish inventor and industrialist Alfred Bernhard Nobel, to “the person who shall have done the most or the best work for fraternity between nations, for the abolition or reduction of standing armies and for the holding and promotion of peace congresses.” Unlike the other prizes, the Peace Prize may be awarded to an institution. It is conferred by the Norwegian Nobel Committee in Oslo.
