Again The Peace Prize Not For Peace

The Nobel Peace Prize is required by Alfred Nobel’s will, which created it, to go to
1.”the person who shall have done the most or the best work for fraternity between nations,
2. for the abolition or reduction of standing armies
3. and for the holding and promotion of peace congresses.”
The Nobel Committee insists on awarding the prize to either a leading maker of war
or a person who has done some good work in an area other than peace.
The 2014 prize has been awarded to Kailash Satyarthi and Malala Yousafzay, which is not a person but two people, and they have not worked for fraternity between nations or the abolition or reduction of standing armies but for the rights of children.
If the peace prize is to be a prize for random good works, then there is no reason not to give it to leading advocates for the rights of children. This is a big step up from giving it to leading makers of war. But then what of the prize for peace and the mission of ending war that Nobel included in his will in fulfillment of a promise to Bertha von Suttner?
