Facilitated by the Norwegian Nobel Committee, the announcement of the laureates captures global attention, highlighting those who strive to make a difference in a challenging world.

Between 1901 and 2024, the Nobel Peace Prize has been awarded 105 times to 142 Nobel laureates, including 111 people and 31 organizations.

Furthermore, the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize twice (in 1954 and 1981), and 28 individual organizations have received the Nobel Peace Prize.

This year, the 2024 Nobel Peace Prize has been awarded to the Japanese Organisation Nihon Hidankyo, for its “efforts to achieve a world free of nuclear weapons and for demonstrating through witness testimony that nuclear weapons must never be used again”, as stated by the Norwegian Nobel Committee in its citation.
