Africa-Press – Uganda. <\/strong><\/span>A total of 305 nominations have been submitted for this year’s Nobel Peace Prize, the Nobel Institute said on Wednesday, remaining tight-lipped about the names on the list.<\/p>\n

The nominations — fewer than the record 376 registered in 2016 — comprise 212 individuals and 93 organisations, the Oslo-based institute said on its website.<\/p>\n

In line with Nobel statutes, the identity of the candidates is kept confidential for 50 years.<\/p>\n

But those eligible to nominate — including former laureates, lawmakers and cabinet ministers from any country in the world, and some university professors — are free to reveal the name of the person or organisation they have proposed.<\/p>\n

Like last year, most of the names publicly disclosed so far are involved in the nearly year-long conflict that has been raging in Ukraine, or opponents of Russian President Vladimir Putin.<\/p>\n

They include Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, his Turkish counterpart Recep Tayyip Erdogan, NATO chief Jens Stoltenberg and a Ukrainian group working to establish an international war crimes tribunal.<\/p>\n

Others known to have been nominated are jailed Putin opponents — anti-corruption activist Alexei Navalny, who was the victim of a poisoning attack, journalist and political activist Vladimir Kara-Murza and the pro-democracy youth movement Vesna.<\/p>\n

Also believed to be on the list this year are climate activists Greta Thunberg of Sweden and Vanessa Nakate of Uganda, Iranian women’s activist Masih Alinejad and her anti-hijab movement My Stealthy Freedom, as well as the Salvation Army.<\/p>\n

Chinese and Hong Kong pro-democracy activists are believed to have been nominated (Chow Hang-tung, Peng Lifa, the group Uyghur Tribunal), as well as Myanmar’s ambassador to the UN Kyaw Moe Tun — sacked by the junta but still in his position — and the anti-junta coalition NUCC, and Maggie Gobran, who helps the poor in Cairo’s slums.<\/p>\n

Last year, the Nobel Peace Prize was shared by Russian human rights group Memorial, Ukraine’s Center for Civil Liberties (CCL) and jailed Belarusian rights advocate Ales Bialiatski, a trio representing the three nations at the centre of the war in Ukraine, which all three have criticised.<\/p>\n
