Henry Dunant, founder of the Red Cross, shared the first Nobel Peace Prize in 1901
with Frdric Passy, a leading international pacifist of the time.
The Nobel Peace Prize is awarded by a committee of five persons who are chosen by
the Norwegian Storting (Parliament of Norway), Oslo, Norway. (All Nobel Prizes are
awarded in Stockholm, Sweden, except for the Nobel Peace Prize, which is awarded in
Oslo, Norway. The founder of the Nobel Prize, Alfred Nobel, was a Swedish
cosmopolitan. In his will, he declared that the Nobel Peace Prize should be awarded
by a Norwegian committee. When Alfred Nobel was alive, Norway and Sweden were
united under one monarch, until 1905 when Norway became an independent
kingdom.)
The Nobel Peace Prize has been awarded to 124 Laureates - to 100 individuals and 24
organizations. Since Comit International de la Croix Rouge (International Committee

Swedish parliament, an E.G.C. Brandt. Apparently though, Brandt never intended the
nomination to be taken seriously. Brandt was to all intents and purposes a dedicated
antifascist, and had intended this nomination more as a satiric criticism of the current political
debate in Sweden. ( At the time, a number of Swedish parliamentarians had nominated then
British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlin for the Nobel Peace Prize, a nomination which
Brandt viewed with great skepticism. ) However, Brandt's satirical intentions were not well
received at all and the nomination was swiftly withdrawn in a letter dated 1 February 1939.
EKONOMIJA
- In 1968, Sveriges Riksbank (Sweden's central bank) established the Prize in Economic
Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel, founder of the Nobel Prize. The Prize is based on a
donation received by the Foundation in 1968 from Sveriges Riksbank on the occasion of the
Bank's 300th anniversary. The first Prize in Economic Sciences was awarded to Ragnar Frisch
and Jan Tinbergen in 1969.
The Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel is awarded by the Royal Swedish
Academy of Sciences, Stockholm, Sweden, according to the same principles as for the Nobel
Prizes that have been awarded since 1901.
69 individuals have been awarded 1969-2012.
The lower half displays the bank's crossed horns of plenty. This design distinguishes it from
the medals of the five prizes awarded under the terms of Alfred Nobel's 1895 will.
The name of the Economics Laureate is engraved on the edge of the medal.
The Medal for The Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred
Nobel was designed by Gunvor Svensson-Lundqvist.
ZANIMLJIVOSTI
2) Tolstoy was the first great author to be rejected by the Nobel Committee in the first year.
He was nominated the next year, and he was found wanting by the reigning conservative
committee, because of his "animosity toward culture," "'ghastly naturalistic descriptions,'" and
"criticism of the state and the Bible.
6) In 1926, the Nobel Prize for Medicine was awarded to Johannes Fibiger for finding a cure
for cancer. That claim (and award) appears to have been overly optimistic.
11) Brilliant inventors Thomas Edison and Nikola Tesla never won Nobel Prizes. The
committee that offered them a joint prize promptly rescinded the offer when it was discovered
that they hated each other so much that they would not stand on the same stage together!
14) There have been only four individuals who have won more than one Nobel Prize: Marie
Curie (Physics 1903 & Chemistry 1911), Linus Pauling (Chemistry 1954 & Peace 1963), John
Bardeen (Physics 1956 & 1972) and Frederick Sanger (Chemistry 1958 & 1980).
15) One organization has won the Nobel Peace Prize three times: International Committee of
the Red Cross (1917, 1944 & 1963)
Amazingly, the person probably most likely to have deserved the Nobel Peace Prize was
never awarded one. Mohandas "Mahatma" Gandhi, Indian leader who advocated non-violence
in the struggle for Indian independence from colonial rule, never won the award. He was
nominated five times, but failed each time. He was assassinated just two days before the
nominations for the 1948 prize were due, which, since he was deceased, disqualified him from
the nomination and, therefore, the prize. The Nobel Peace Prize Committee considered
selecting Gandhi for the award in spite of the rules, but because he left no legal heirs, they
were not sure of who to award the prize to. Instead, the committee elected to withhold the
award that year, stating that "there was no suitable living candidate" for the award, a clear
reference to the recently-deceased Gandhi.
Year 2010, is 538th award of Nobel Prizes. There are some years when Nobel prize was not
awarded (mostly during world wars)

The Oldest Nobel Laureate is Leonid Hurwicz, who was 90 years old when he got the prize in
2007 for economics.

A prize amount may be equally divided between two works, each of which is considered to
merit a prize. If a work that is being rewarded has been produced by two or three persons, the
prize shall be awarded to them jointly. In no case may a prize amount be divided between
more than three persons."
Since the start, in 1901, there are some years when the Nobel Prizes have not been awarded.
The total number of times are 50. Most of them during World War I (1914-1918) and II (19391945). In the statutes of the Nobel Foundation it says: "If none of the works under
consideration is found to be of the importance indicated in the first paragraph, the prize
money shall be reserved until the following year. If, even then, the prize cannot be awarded,
the amount shall be added to the Foundation's restricted funds."
The Nobel Laureate who has lived to the oldest age is Rita Levi-Montalcini, who was
awarded the 1986 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine. She celebrated her 103rd
anniversary on 22 April 2012!
Three Nobel Laureates have been under arrest at the time of the award
German pacifist and journalist Carl von Ossietzky

Four Nobel Laureates have been forced by authorities to decline the Nobel
Prize!
Adolf Hitler forbade three German Nobel Laureates, Richard Kuhn, Adolf Butenandt and
Gerhard Domagk, from accepting the Nobel Prize. All of them could later receive the Nobel
Prize Diploma and Medal, but not the prize amount.
Boris Pasternak, the 1958 Nobel Laureate in Literature, initially accepted the Nobel Prize but
was later coerced by the authorities of the Soviet Union, his native country, to decline the
Nobel Prize.
*Why are the individuals and organisations awarded a Nobel Prize called Nobel
Laureates?
The word "Laureate" refers to being signified by the laurel wreath.
In Greek mythology, the god Apollo is represented wearing a laurel wreath on his head. A
laureal wreath is a circular crown made of branches and leaves of the bay laurel (In latin:
Laurus nobilis). In Ancient Greece, laurel wreaths were awarded to victors as a sign of
honour - both in athletic competitions and in poetic meets.
