(129,232 posts)Once you've got it you've got it and you're stuck with it even if you try to give it back, and the committee can't take it back either.
thats unfortunate.

(129,232 posts)once the prize itself is awarded it can't be revoked, returned or shared with someone else. Even in the few cases where a recipient has declined it (Lê Đức Thọ, for example), it's still on the books as having been awarded to him. It's not transferrable. Machado can't give it back and she can't share it because it's awarded on the basis of the actions of a particular individual. The committee could have awarded it to Machado and Trump jointly if they thought Trump deserved some of the credit for Machado's efforts in Venezuela up to 2/1/25, but obviously they didn't.
By the way, the deadline for the 2026 NPP is midnight on January 31, so Trump had better get busy doing a whole lot more peace in the next few weeks.

(100,176 posts)The committee can't take it back. What a travesty, makes all the others near worthless, like the enshitification of the Medal of freedom and now the Kennedy Center honors, worthless once the orange shitbag gets involved. This is why the NYC upper crust never let him be one of them, he sucks like outhouse fumes.

"A Nobel Prize cannot be revoked nor transferred to others. Once the laureate or laureates are announced, the decision is final," said Erik Aasheim, a spokesperson for the Norwegian Nobel Institute, which serves as the secretariat for the Norwegian Nobel Committee. Aasheim added that while the prize itself is not transferable, laureates are free to dispose of the prize money as they see fit.
The statement followed remarks by Machado during a Fox News interview on Monday, in which she praised Trump's actions that led to the capture of Venezuela's former president, Nicolás Maduro, and said that "because this is the prize of the Venezuelan people, certainly we want to give it to him and share it with him." Machado said she had not spoken directly with Trump since October, when she dedicated the award to him after it was announced.

It was at that point that the officials responsible for the award apparently felt the need to issue a clarification of sorts. The Associated Press reported:
The organization that oversees the Nobel Peace Prize is throwing cold water on talk of Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado giving her recent award to President Donald Trump.
Once the Nobel Peace Prize is announced, it cant be revoked, transferred or shared with others, the Norwegian Nobel Institute said in a short statement on Friday.
The decision is final and stands for all time, the institute explained in a written statement.
It was, as best as I can tell, the first time in the 125-year history of the award that the Nobel Prize committee found it necessary to issue such a clarification. It also led The Atlantics Anne Applebaum to note, summarizing the circumstances, Its hard even to comprehend how stupid this has become.
