The Nobel Peace Prize was founded in 1901 and has a history of more than 100 years. The Nobel Peace Prize is one of five Nobel Prizes created by Swedish inventor Alfred Nobel. Swede Nobel wrote a will on November 27, 1895, donating more than 31.22 million Swedish kronor of all his property to establish a fund, using interest as a bonus every year to "the person who has made the greatest contribution to mankind in the past year." According to his will, the Swedish government established the "Nobel Foundation" in the same year, responsible for awarding the annual interest of the fund in five equal parts, of which the Peace Prize is one. According to Nobel's will, the Nobel Peace Prize will not be awarded in Sweden together with the other four awards, but in Oslo, the capital of Norway. The award committee for the Peace Prize is a five-member Norway Nobel Committee, whose members are appointed by the Norway Parliament. According to Nobel's will, the Peace Prize should be awarded to "those who have done their best efforts or made the greatest contributions to promoting national unity and friendship, abolishing or reducing the standing army, and the organization and publicity of the Peace Conference." However, in recent years, the selection committee has gradually broadened the scope of the Peace Prize. However, the award can also be awarded to institutions and organizations that meet the award requirements.
