The Nobel Peace Center ruled out transferring the title of the prize winner to another

The title of the Nobel Peace Prize Laureate is not transferable to other figures and persons. This was announced on January 16 by the Nobel Peace Center.

"The medal can change its owner, but the title of the Nobel Peace Prize laureate does not," the center said in a statement on the social network X (former. Twitter).

This is how the Nobel Peace Center reacted to the transfer of the peace Prize by the head of the opposition in the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, Maria Corina Machado, to American President Donald Trump. The center clarified that the final decisions on the laureate are not subject to subsequent changes.

Machado announced on January 15 that she had awarded the Nobel Peace Prize to the American president. Before that, CGTN America learned about Machado's award to Trump on the same day. She, who won the award presented to her "for her efforts to promote democracy in Venezuela" in 2025, indicated her desire to commit this act back on January 6.

Also on the official website of the Norwegian Nobel Committee, after Machado's public statement, it was reported that the Nobel Peace Prize, which had already been awarded, could not be transferred to Trump according to the committee's rules.
