The ways and means to achieve peace are as diverse
as the individuals and organizations rewarded with the Nobel Peace
Prize. Henry Dunant, founder of the Red Cross, shared the first
prize in 1901 with Frédéric Passy, leading international pacifist of
the time. Aside from humanitarian work and peace movements, the Prize
has been awarded to a wide field of work including advocacy of human
rights, mediation of international conflicts and arms control and
disarmament.
