I am in full agreement with you on the problems with the Nobel Peace Prize.

They awarded the price many times for purely political purposes to warmongerers that went on to commit war-atrocities at scale, like Carter with his track record or Obama that had no track record.

If the argument is that this is a way to try to encourage good behavior then the committee also need to withdraw the prize when the recipient don't.
