Nobel or just noble? Trivia Quiz

Answer:

Dating back to 1901, the Nobel Peace Prize is awarded in Oslo each year whereas all other Nobel prizes are presented in Stockholm, the capital city of Alfred Nobel's native Sweden - the reasoning behind Nobel's decision for Oslo, made in his will setting up the awards, remains unclear. The Peace Prize is not restricted to individuals and several organizations have been presented with this great honor including the International Red Cross, the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees and Médecins Sans Frontières. The list of Peace Prize recipients in this quiz can be placed into the following categories (with the year of the award in parentheses):

Efforts to create peace in the Middle-East: Shimon Peres (1994), Yasser Arafat (1994)

Establishment and management of the United Nations: Cordell Hull (1945), Kofi Annan (2001)

Non-violent struggle against apartheid, then its removal in South Africa: Albert Lutuli (1960), Desmond Tutu (1984), Frederik Willem de Klerk (1993)

Raising awareness of the dangers of nuclear weapons: Linus Pauling (1962), Andrei Sakharov (1975)

Climate change awareness: Al Gore (2007).

Obviously I have chosen a few from a long list of most worthy recipients - of particular note, I left out Nelson Mandela from the South Africa 'grouping' and Yitzhak Rabin for the Middle-East Peace Process, simply so I could have a spread of different areas.
