    As a Norwegian, it's very interesting that the basically first Nobel Peace Prize that's given for work in the field of health isn't given to the World Health Organization.

    With "peace" now encompassing yet another field in society, what other fields are on the table? Anti-corruption? Combating "fake news"? Are there others up for grabs?

    I don't think this is a controversial prize, but an ever-expanding definition of peace to make prizes relevant in the West while there are still areas of active conflict and war seems unfair.
