Who are the five Nobel Peace Prize judges deciding whether Trump gets it?

Source-https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/10/10/who-are-the-five-nobel-peace-prize-judges-deciding-whether-trump-gets-it


snip-Each year, the Nobel Committee, whose members are elected by Norway’s parliament, award the prize, established under the will of Alfred Nobel, to “the person who shall 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”.


snip-"The members of the committee are elected for a period of six years and can be re-elected.

According to the Nobel Peace Prize’s rules, members of the committee represent the strength of the different political parties in Norway’s Parliament, but cannot be sitting members of the parliament. Once elected, the committee picks its own chairman and deputy chairman, and the director of the Norwegian Nobel Institute serves as the committee’s secretary."


The members[my listing]
Jorgen Watne Frydnes,Asle Toje, Anne Enger, Kristin Clemet,Gry Larsen
