Narges Mohammadi won the Nobel Peace Prize 2023

From a list of more than 350 nominations, the 2023 Nobel Peace Prize recipient will be revealed. Individuals or organizations may receive the prize. Nelson Mandela, Barack Obama, and the United Nations were among the other winners in the past. The renowned Nobel Peace Prize laureate has been selected from among more than 350 nominees by a team of Norwegian experts. In what was considered a stern rebuke to Russian President Vladimir Putin and his Belarusian colleague and ally, human rights advocates from Ukraine, Belarus, and Russia received the award the previous year.

The Peace Prize is agreed upon and given by the five member Norwegian Nobel Committee in Oslo, as opposed to the other Nobel awards, which are chosen and announced in Stockholm under Alfred Nobel's directive. The Norwegian parliament appoints an impartial commission. The committee received 351 nominations this year, 259 of which were for people and 92 of which were for organizations. Former recipients of the Nobel Peace Prize, committee members, heads of state, parliamentarians, and professors of political science, history, and international law are all eligible to submit nominations. The Peace Prize is the fifth of this year's prizes to be announced. A day earlier, the Nobel committee awarded Norwegian writer Jon Fosse the prize for literature. The chemistry prize went to U.S. scientists Moungi Bawendi, Louis Brus and Alexei Ekimov.

The French-Swedish physicist Anne L'Huillier, the French scientist Pierre Agostini, and the Hungarian-born Ferenc Krausz shared the physics award. On Monday, the Nobel Prize in medicine was awarded to Americans Drew Weissman and Hungarian-American Katalin Karikó. The Economics Prize, officially known as the Bank of Sweden Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel, will be awarded on Monday, capping out Nobel's season. At award ceremonies held in December in Oslo and Stockholm, the prizes are presented. A financial prize of 11 million Swedish kronor (or around $1 million) is attached to them. When winners receive their Nobel Prizes during the award ceremonies in December, they also get a certificate and an 18-carat gold.
