Nobel Peace Prize Nominees
In 1947 the Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to American Friends Service Committee
(AFSC) and British Friends Service Council on behalf of Quakers all around the
world, in recognition for 300 years of Quaker efforts to promote peace. Nominations
for the Nobel Peace Prize can be made by previous Nobel Peace Prize winners. Each
year the AFSC’s Nobel Peace Prize Nominating Committee takes this honor seriously,
and selects an individual or organization they believe best manifests "the
divine spark in action in the human family." Many of AFSC's nominees have
later gone on to win the Nobel Peace Prize. Some of AFSC's nominees are included
here. For a complete list, and more about AFSC's vision for peace: www.afsc.org/about/nobel/past-nominations.htm.
