- saiya-jin 9y agoThey are not even given by same committee as 'real' nobels, and are used as a political statement at current time, often end up being a huge embarrassment after some time. I mean, Yasser Arafat (+-terrorist), Al Gore (for a environmental powerpoint), Obama (happy continuing supporting Guantanamo and 2 horrible unjust wars), Aung San Suu Kyi (happy with recent Rohinga genocide), Kissinger and so on. There are often candidates for it which would actually deserve it, but since it's a vessel for political statements, they usually don't get it.
