The Nobel Peace Prize Committee has a mental list of candidates it stays alert to, despite not keeping a written record, as revealed by director Kristian Berg Harpviken amid the ongoing investigation of former committee head Thorbjørn Jagland for serious corruption.
The Nobel Peace Prize is often referred to as the world's most coveted award, drawing significant interest from various stakeholders. Kristian Berg Harpviken, the director of the Norwegian Nobel Institute, explained to E24 that while many people lobby for candidates, the committee does not maintain a formal written list of these individuals. Instead, there exists a 'clear mental list' of potential nominees, which serves as a guide for the committee to remain vigilant regarding ongoing lobbying efforts for the prize.
