The problem is you have to be noteworthy enough to be considered; and are going to be in close proximity of atrocities (hopefully trying to prevent them). Realistically this means a higher percentage of laureate are now generally accepted to have some complicity in atrocities then the percentage of normal people.
Great to see that they're not afraid to stand up to the rising authoritarianism
Yay, congrats Navi! Thanks for contributing to international law!
Reminder that the US administration is on a campaign to dismantle the ICC for echoing similar findings to this Nobel Prize winner in her role at UNHRC [1].
I'm extremely grateful to, and humbled by, these people continuing their brave work knowing they will face the full wrath of the US and Israel govs and their campaigns to dismantle accountability for the worst crimes.

They should just rename it. Very little of the recent winners have made the world more peaceful. May have contributed to making it better.
Nobel Peace Prize is meaningless, people don't care about actual genocides why would they care about genocide+ (including rape)?
It's like having your house on fire but patting yourself on the back for fixing a lamp.
I was just checking which were the top guesses on polymarket before the announcement and this winner was not even a choice on there. At least we know there's no insider trading at the Nobel foundation.
