As a friend on another forum noted, it would seem that the Nobel Peace Prize is really a strange Norwegian joke that only they understand.

    Sorry, sir, I do not understand the joke.

    You should write to the committee and ask for an explanation. If they send you one, pass it along to me.

    They never give any explanations beyond the official ones -- at least for specific awardings.

    One might get a general answer.

    Beyond what is officially released in connection with the announcement, material is kept undisclosed for 50 years.
