MPs call for merit-based selection of Nobel Peace Prize committee members
MPs Arild Hermstad and Julie E. Stuestøl have proposed changes to how members of the Norwegian Nobel Committee are chosen. The proposers argue that committee members should be selected primarily for their expertise in peace work, disarmament, and conflict resolution, rather than on grounds of party political affiliation. They contend this would strengthen the committee's independence and preserve the legitimacy of the Nobel Peace Prize.
