One curious thing, is that compared to the prizes for science, the one for peace should be awarded based on the previous year. So science ones have old and proven stuff, peace has recent stuff (which also explains why it often gets controversial with time).
But this award text mainly speaks about stuff they did in the nineties. That struck me as a bit odd compared to the peace prize earlier years.
- siva7 5y agoIt's not the first time that someone who was awarded the peace prize turned out with their later actions to be unworthy. So while this isn't exactly Nobel's will it may be better.
- dagw 5y agoOne curious thing, is that compared to the prizes for science, the one for peace should be awarded based on the previous year. If you read the original documents, all Nobel prizes where supposed to be given based on work in done the previous year. However it turns out that judging the value of anything in real time is hard, so all the prizes have been taking a longer and longer view.
