These meetings resulted in a pause in nuclear and missile testing and the return of remains of U.S. soldiers.

The Norwegian Nobel Committee follows a thorough process: 1. Receive nominations (deadline: January 31) 2. Committee advisers review nominations and prepare reports 3. The five-member committee discusses candidates 4. Majority vote determines the winner 5. Prize is announced in October 6. Award ceremony held on December 10 (anniversary of Alfred Nobel's death) The committee is appointed by the Norwegian Parliament but operates independently.

According to Alfred Nobel's will, the prize should go to those who "have done the most or the best work for fraternity between nations, the abolition or reduction of standing armies and for the holding and promotion of peace congresses." In practice, the committee has interpreted this broadly to include: • Peace treaties and conflict resolution • Human rights work • Humanitarian efforts • Environmental activism • Disarmament efforts The committee does not publish specific criteria, maintaining flexibility in their selections.
