The Norwegian Nobel Institute said on Tuesday it had received 343 nominations for this year’s peace prize and while nominations were cut off in January, the Ukraine conflict could still influence the list of candidates.
The nominations, which are still short of the record 376 submitted in 2016, are divided between 251 individuals and 92 organisations, the institute said.
The institute never comments on nominations, which are kept secret for at least 50 years, but sponsors are free to announce their picks to the world.
This year’s nominees include Myanmar democracy activists, Pope Francis, Belarusian opposition figure Svetlana Tikhanovskaya and climate warriors Greta Thunberg and David Attenborough, according to sponsors.
The last date for nominations by the thousands of people eligible to do so, including parliamentarians and ministers from all countries, former laureates and some university professors, was January 31.
