  Nobel Peace Prize - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
According to Nobel's will, the Peace Prize should be awarded "to the person who shall have done the most or the best work for fraternity between the nations, for the abolition or reduction of standing armies and for the holding and promotion of peace congresses".
The Peace Prize is awarded annually in Oslo, the capital of Norway, unlike the prizes in economics, physics, chemistry, physiology or medicine, and literature, which are awarded in Stockholm, Sweden.
In the case of the Peace Prize, controversial winners include former warmongers and former terrorists whom the Committee may select for exceptional concessions in the attempt to achieve peace.
