MJ MusePresident Volodymyr Zelensky has been formally nominated for the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize. Hide the ketchup.
Mason Loring Bliss@MJmusicinears But he's engaged in a war. It's defensive, but is he a peacemaker? These peace prizes make no sense. Give it to someone who's actively working to prevent wars.
SkjeggtrollThe criteria for who can nominate someone for Nobel's peace prize are quite broad: In addition to former winners and members of the committee itself, a nomination can also be raised by anyone who is a sitting member of a national parliament or government, and anyone who is a professor of history, social science, jurisprudence, philosophy or theology.
Also, the committee does not publish or confirm nominations, so all claims about nominations are unoffical.
