Summary
Identity of nominees for Peace Prize secret for 50 years OSLO (Reuters) – Some 287 candidates will be considered for the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize, the secretary of the Norwegian Nobel Committee said on Thursday, with US President Donald Trump likely to be among the nominees. Of this year's nominations, 208 are individuals and 79 are organisations, said Kristian Berg Harpviken, adding that there were many new nominees compared to last year. "Since I am new in the job, one of the things that has to some extent surprised me is how much renewal there is from year to year on the list," Harpviken said in an interview. He has held the position since January 2025. Despite the number of conflicts rising worldwide and international cooperation under pressure, the award remains relevant, he added. "The Peace Prize is even more important in a period like the one we're living in," he said. "There is as much good work, if not more, than ever."
