The Nobel Peace Prize is awarded to someone who works for peace and inspires and challenges others to do the same. More specifically, the Nobel Committee in Norway awards the prize to someone who “shall have done the most or the best work for fraternity [friendship] between nations, for the abolition or reduction of standing armies [professional armies that stand even in times of peace] and for the holding and promotion of peace congresses.” Using evidence from the speech, defend the decision to give Malala Yousafzai this important award.
