STAVANGER, Norway -- The doors close Wednesday on nominations for the 2024 Nobel Peace Prize, with peace activists connected to the wars in Gaza and Ukraine among the known entries.
The Norwegian Nobel Committee keeps the nominations secret, but those with nomination rights sometimes make their picks public.
Attempts to find an end the war in Gaza have been a theme for some of the announced nominations.
Academics at the Free University Amsterdam said they have nominated the Middle East-based organizations EcoPeace, Women Wage Peace and Women of the Sun for peace efforts between Israelis and Palestinians.
“They are bringing communities together to build peace in the Middle East with a special focus on the role of women and climate justice,” the university’s Peace and Conflict Studies department wrote.
