List of individuals nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize (2000–present)

This entry provides information related to individuals nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize from the year 2000 to the present. It is important to note that the Nobel Committee does not publicly disclose the names of nominees for 50 years following the nomination. Therefore, publicly available lists are often based on speculation, confirmations from nominators themselves, or leaks. As a result, these lists should be regarded as tentative and potentially incomplete.

Nominations for the Nobel Peace Prize can be submitted by a wide range of individuals and organizations, including:

• Members of national assemblies and governments of states;
• Members of international courts;
• University rectors and professors of social sciences, history, philosophy, law and theology;
• Directors of peace research institutes and foreign policy institutes;
• Persons who have been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize;
• Members of the board of directors or equivalent bodies of organizations that have been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize;
• Active and former members of the Norwegian Nobel Committee (however, current members cannot nominate themselves).

Due to the confidentiality rules, a comprehensive and verified list of nominees is not publicly accessible. Instead, information is usually gathered from news reports, academic research, and statements made by nominators or the nominees themselves.

Significant contributions to peace, conflict resolution, human rights, and humanitarian work are common criteria for nomination. Individuals who have played crucial roles in these areas during the 21st century may be included in these speculative lists. It is crucial to remember that nomination does not equate to endorsement or selection. The Nobel Committee carefully evaluates all nominations before selecting the laureate(s).
