Can war criminals nominate people for peace prizes?

[–] Metostopholes@midwest.social 44 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

War criminals can be awarded the Nobel peace prize.

e.g. Henry Kissinger.

I can flip a coin to decide if any Nobel peace prize winner is an arse, and be correct more than not

Yes. A surprising number of people can nominate people for the noble peace prize. This isn't like the Oscar, where a nomination is already an achievement.

Honestly, looking at some of the movies that WON Oscars, a nomination just means a studio is backing them.
