Know how the election of candidates and why everyone’s eyes are on Trump?:

News India Live, Digital Desk: Nobel Secrecy Rules: You must have heard about the Nobel Peace Prize, which is considered to be the most prestigious honor in the world. This award is received to such people or organizations who have done some extraordinary work for peace. Nowadays, there is often a discussion about the name of Donald Trump, whether he can get this honor, especially for 2025. Come, let’s understand what are its possibilities and how this award is chosen.

Why do Trump’s expectations low?

If seen, Donald Trump is credited with the ‘Abraham Accords’ between Israel and some Arab countries, which was considered a step towards peace. For this reason, some people have also suggested his name. However, the truth is that the criteria of the Nobel Committee are very broad and deep. The awarding organization does not only stop at any one achievement, but also takes into account the entire tenure of the candidate, their methods of contribution to global peace and controversial statements or policies.

There have been some incidents and statements during Trump’s tenure, which can weaken his candidature. The Nobel Committee often chooses a person who has actually promoted harmony, diplomacy and international cooperation, while during Trump’s tenure, some decisions and policies were such that he was also criticized internationally. This is the reason why their possibilities do not look too much.

How are the winners of Peace Prize?

The Nobel Peace Prize is selected under a highly systematic and confidential process, which is carried out by Norwegian Nobel Committee. This entire process lasts for about a year:

1. Enrollment: Every year by the end of September, the Nobel Committee gets enrollment from all over the world. Which person or institution can be nominated, there are some special qualifications for this. For example, members of Parliament of different countries, professors of universities, former peace prize winners and members of Nobel Committee etc. can send names in this. The special thing is that nominations are not made public and they are kept confidential for five years.
2. Investigation: The last date for nomination is till January. Subsequently, the committee investigates all the nominations received. A small list of hundreds of names is made.
3. Opinions of experts: The committee seeks the help of some special experts who prepare a detailed report on shortlisted candidates.
4. Discussion: From spring to autumn to Autumn, committee members consistently meet, discuss reports and form their opinion. They assess the contribution of candidates from different perspectives.
5. Final decision: In early October, the committee takes its final decision with consensus or majority. This decision comes in front of the world only when the award is announced.
6. Awards ceremony: The winner is awarded the award at a grand ceremony at Oslo, Norway in December, where he receives gold medal, diploma and cash amount.

It is clear from this process that it is not limited to only one agreement, but the entire contribution of a person or institution is seen for permanent peace. This is the reason why it will not be easy for politicians like Trump, whose working style, it will not be easy to win this prestigious award.
