The American Friends Service Committee’s nominee for the 2019 Nobel Peace Prize was moved by the nomination and considers it a great honor. However, our nominee has asked that we not publicize the nomination at this time, and we are respecting their wishes.
Because Nobel laureates have the opportunity to nominate future Nobel Peace Prize winners, AFSC and Quaker Peace and Social Witness formed the Nobel Peace Prize Nominating Group to consider and recommend nominees. The group takes suggestions from the public for candidates to consider at the website quakernobel.org.
