The Nobel Peace Prize is one of the five Nobel

Prizes established by the will of Swedish
industrialist, inventor, and armaments (military
weapons and equipment) manufacturer Alfred
Nobel, along with the prizes in Chemistry, Physics,
Physiology or Medicine, and Literature. Since March
1901,[4] it has been awarded annually (with some
exceptions) to those who have "done the most or
the best work for fraternity between nations, for the
abolition or reduction of standing armies and for the
holding and promotion of peace congresses".[5]

In accordance with Alfred Nobel's will, the recipient

is selected by the Norwegian Nobel Committee, a
five-member committee appointed by the
Parliament of Norway. The 2020 prize will be
awarded in the Atrium of the University of Oslo,
where it was also awarded 1947–1989; the Abel
Prize is also awarded in the building.[6] The prize
was previously awarded in Oslo City Hall (1990–
2019), the Norwegian Nobel Institute (1905–1946),
and the Parliament (1901–1904).

Due to its political nature, the Nobel Peace Prize

has, for most of its history, been the subject of
numerous controversies.
