Is the list of nominated public?
No, the list of nominated Nobel Prizes is not published. In fact, a complete list of eligible prices is not really released for the next 50 years, according to the laws of the Nobel Foundation.
How long does it take to nominate the award?
The process of choosing the Nobel Peace Prize Laureate extends around eight months, while the Nobel Committee decided to win the winner by the beginning of October at the latest, when the winner is selected on the basis of a simple majority vote. The decision is final, and perhaps more important (for this year) cannot be referred.
On what basis is the winner selected?
According to Alfred Nobel’s will, the Nobel Prize for Peace is awarded to a person who will be the most or best work for the abolition or reduction of permanent armies for the brotherhood among nations, to abolish or reduce permanent armies.
The will will specify that the prize should be awarded to those who “awarded the greatest advantage for humanity” and added that “no consideration is devoted to the nationality of candidates to win the prize, whether it is Scandinavian or not.”
The interpretation of Nobel’s will over time has also expanded the Nobel Committee to include efforts for human rights, democracy and environmentalism as contributions to peace.

How many nominees are for the Nobel Peace Prize in 2025?
While the names of the nominees are not published, the Nobel Committee said that this year’s list includes 338 candidates – 244 individuals and 94 organizations.
Where is Trump in all this?
Trump has repeatedly claimed that he deserves award on the basis of his self -proclaimed role in stopping seven wars in seven months, followed by the first phase of the Gaza Peace Plan, which was agreed by Israel and Hamas on October 9.
The US President also received formal nominations from major international personalities, including Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Prime Minister Hunaet, Cambodian, and Pakistani Army chief Assim Munir.
In addition, his nomination was publicly supported by Russia, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelskyy, the leaders of Armenia and Azerbaijan (despite repeated aids about Trump about the names of both nations), as well as Gabon and Rwanda, who are engaged in media media conflicts.
Several Republican legislators also submitted letters nominating Trump or supported its nomination.
Trump, supported by such characters, even said that in the record would be a “great insult” for the United States.

Understanding of Trump’s eligibility
While there were reports that indicate that the deadline for nominations closed on January 31, and as such the US President would not be eligible, Newsweek reported The fact that the members of the Committee were entitled to add more nominated to the initial list during the first session of February 28, something over a month to the second term of Trump.
Furthermore, unveiling the rumors of social media that the US President has been disqualified, the Nobel Committee “clearly denied Trump from this year’s nominees”, Newsweek reported.
So what are the chances of Trump?
Although Trump is nominated, to our best understanding, experts remain skeptical about the chances of the US President to gain honor.
First, despite Trump’s demands on conflict mediation, the Nobel Committee usually prefers permanent long -term peace efforts for recent diplomatic development, whose durability must still be proven.
Secondly, Trump’s “America First” and international pacts, such as an agreement on the climate in Paris, go against the focus of the committee on efforts that support International Fraternity.
And thirdly, very public lobbying of Trump for tribute is unlikely to sit well with the committee, the experts said.
If not Trump then who?
While Trump Has Indeed Made the Headlines When It Comes to the Nobel Peace Prize, Reports Suggest Other Individuals and Organizations Could Be More Realistic Picks, Including Deceased Russian Politician Alexei Navalny’s Widow Yulia Navalnaya Unhcr, Sudan’s Emergency Response Rooms, International Organizations Such As Doctors Without Borders and Reporters without Borders, Climate Activist Greta Thunberg, and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zlenskyy.
