So, it is not surprising that the WHO is one of the favorite candidates who are expected to receive the Nobel Peace Prize.

Prime Minister of New Zealand, Jacinda Ardern-
While the debate between US president Donald Trump and challenger Joe Biden is marked by insults, interruptions and scorn, in New Zealand, the world’s youngest woman Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern is arguing subtly on a strong policy that compliments each other’s opposition, Judith Collins.
Ardern has also been widely praised for his leadership and response to the coronavirus outbreak, which has recorded the death toll from the virus in New Zealand, one of the lowest in the world.
Ardern’s strong but sympathetic response to the Christchurch massacre made him a worthy contender for the Nobel Prize in 2019 and again on the list of opportunities for 2020.
But Ardern’s chances of winning may be hampered by New Zealand’s lack of involvement in major global agreements.
