Trump will not win this year's Nobel Peace Prize, but he may influence who does, say experts
Experts say the committee may favor a safer choice to avoid Trump’s pressure, with candidates including Pope Leo, the ICC and the ICJ.
- On October 9, the Norwegian Nobel Committee will announce this year's Peace Prize laureate while weighing candidates capable of withstanding intense pressure from President Donald Trump.
- Last year's award to Venezuela's Maria Corina Machado was unique in the 125-year history of the prize; weeks later, Machado gifted her gold medal to Trump, forcing the committee to reconsider how to protect laureates from political co-option.
- Experts suggest the committee may honor the International Criminal Court or Pope Leo to defend international law, though analysts argue they might select a 'safe' choice to avoid antagonizing Trump.
- Nobel Peace Prize laureate Maria Ressa condemned the political interference during an Oslo visit in September, stating "Bullies don't run the world," reflecting the committee's tension between maintaining independence and navigating external intimidation.
- Honoring the International Criminal Court or Francesca Albanese, the UN special rapporteur on the Occupied Palestinian Territories, could signal a defense of international law even as Washington prepares potential sanctions against the global tribunal.
