Do they have a "genocide" category now?

The Nobel committee should maybe not accept nominations from an accused ICC war criminal
A friend of mine is a Nobel Prize nominee. It's not hard: all it takes is someone with vaguely convincing creds to write a letter to nominate you.
In his case, he asked a University teacher friend of his to write the letter. And just like that, he was nominated. He'd been putting "Nobel Prize nominee" on his resume to impress potential employers for decades.
Netanyahu's credentials should automatically disqualify him from being able to nominate anyone.
He's a head of state. That automatically qualifies him to nominate people.
Of course, the Nobel committee is also perfectly free to say "This nomination of a fucking fascist by a fucking genocidal maniac...Should we do a Kissinger again or shall we just close the file and go have a beer instead?"
Never forget that Kissinger got the 1973 peace prize...
Obama got it in 2009, shortly after him starting his first term, not for anything he had done but to try and "strengthen" him.
The peace prize is a joke.
Netanyahu: "He deserves a peace prize because he loves a good genocide like I do! He's not some pussy like Biden who enables it but pretends he doesn't like it!"
I think gay porn has a better plot. At least everyone involved gets a happy ending.
Can war criminals nominate people for peace prizes?
War criminals can be awarded the Nobel peace prize.
e.g. Henry Kissinger.
Yes. A surprising number of people can nominate people for the noble peace prize. This isn't like the Oscar, where a nomination is already an achievement.
Netanyahu knows exactly what flatters that orange moron.
Also nominations doesn't mean anything, basically anyone can be nominated, it doesn't mean that they are being seriously considered. This is all a show by Netanyahu aimed at keeping Trump close.
Who makes this shit up?
Noble peace prize has lost it's charm long back. I feel it should be discontinued. Barack Obama got noble peace prize and then went on to bomb countries. There are so many people in this world who have done good deeds but are not recognised.
That price was never particularly relevant, considering the past nominees and winners.
