Peace Indicator: 119


This week's Peace Indicator is 119, the number of Nobel Peace Prize Laureates since the prize was first awarded in 1901.

A complete list is available on the Nobel Prize's web site. The prizes have been given to a wide variety of people and groups for a wide variety of reasons. AFSC shared the 1947 prize with the British Friends Service Council for the work of Friends over 300 years with a special focus on the work done after the two world wars to feed the starving populations of Europe. We have stories posted online that talk about our work over the years, including the work that led to our prize.

If you have suggestions for a Peace Indicator please feel free to share.
