Nobel Peace Prize Watch: Despite TrumpS Claims, Other Candidates Emerge as Stronger Contenders
Oslo, Norway – As the world grapples with escalating conflicts and humanitarian crises, all eyes are on the Nobel Peace Prize proclamation this Friday, October 10, at the Nobel Norwegian Institute. While media attention has been largely dominated by former U.S.President Donald Trump’s self-promotion of having “ended seven wars,” a field of 388 nominees suggests a more complex race. libération examines the potential frontrunners beyond trump’s highly publicized bid.
Trump has publicly stated that not receiving the prize would be an “insult” to the United States, echoing sentiments surrounding his predecessor Barack Obama’s 2009 award. However, despite his claims, the focus of international media largely remains absent from recognizing key actors in Middle Eastern humanitarian aid or organizations defending journalists – groups central to conflict coverage this year.
Libération will provide a full assessment of the leading candidates as the announcement approaches.
