The much-anticipated announcement of the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize winner is set for October 10. Behind the scenes, the influential Norwegian Nobel Committee, comprising five carefully selected members by Norway's parliament, handles the difficult task of selecting honorees. While the committee's members are usually retired politicians, they can also be from various professional backgrounds.
The criteria for winning the Nobel Peace Prize trace back to Alfred Nobel's will, which outlines that the prize should be awarded to those who have advanced world peace, reduced militarization, and fostered international congresses. Kristian Berg Harpviken, the award committee's secretary, emphasizes the importance of evaluating nominees in the context of current global trends and issues.
