Gjerløw comments on Nobel Peace Prize proposal

Gjerløw, the interim director of PRIO, commented on a proposal to nominate the children of Gaza for the Nobel Peace Prize.

The proposal, promoted by Professor Domenico Mazzarella, has gained support from academic, cultural, religious, and civil society figures, along with organizations dedicated to protecting rights. Gjerløw noted that the Nobel Prize rewards those who protect victims rather than the victims themselves, but stated that such a nomination would serve as a strong symbolic signal.

According to Gjerløw, the proposal would align with the spirit of the prize if represented by people or organizations committed to their protection.
