Trump again did not receive the Nobel Peace Prize: to whom and for what it was awarded
US President Donald Trump has been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize many times. In 2020 alone, he was nominated three times. But the American leader never received the award. The prize was received by the UN World Food Program, writes Air force.
The Nobel Committee's decision states that the prize was awarded for "efforts to combat hunger and contributions to improving conditions for achieving peace in conflict regions."
The UN World Food Program is the world's largest humanitarian organization, dedicated to helping the poorest people in developing countries.
The organization's website says it helps 97 million people in 88 countries around the world, including in war zones.
“With this year's award, the Norwegian Nobel Committee wishes to turn the world's eyes to the millions of people who suffer from hunger or face the threat of hunger,” the committee said.
It is noted that the program was able to turn "food security" into an instrument of peace. She has made a significant contribution to the involvement of UN member states in the fight against the use of hunger as a tool of war, explain "Vedomosti".
Swedish environmental activist Greta Thunberg, now 17, has also nominated for this year's prize. She was nominated by three members of the Norwegian parliament and two from Sweden.
Among the most likely contenders for the award were the World Health Organization, New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern and the journalist rights organization Reporters Without Borders.
More than two hundred organizations and world leaders were nominated for the award, including Afghan activist Fauzia Kufi, who fights for women's rights in the country, UN Secretary General Antonio Guterisch, German Chancellor Angela Merkel, and Sudanese student Alaa Salah, who became one of the main persons of the revolution in the country.
The youngest winner of the Nobel Peace Prize in 2014 was Pakistani schoolgirl Malala Yousafzai - she was 17 years old when she received the award.
