The International Space Station has emerged as a contender for the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize, with experts citing it as a symbol of global cooperation amid weakening multilateralism. Other names mentioned include US President Donald Trump, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, Ukrainian children’s advocate Mykola Kuleba, Save the Children, Sudan’s Emergency Response Rooms, the Committee to Protect Journalists, and the International Court of Justice and International Criminal Court. The Norwegian Nobel Committee received 287 candidates, with slightly more than a quarter being organisations. Experts stress that predictions are speculative. Trump has openly sought the prize, while critics point to the US-Israel war in Iran. The winner will be announced October 9. (PC: X)
