I am Rishi Kumar, and in this video of "AtoZ Science" "Peace Nobel Prize series" know about the First Peace Nobel Prize given in 1901 This year two people received the Peace Nobel Prize, one of which was Frédéric Passy whom I told you about.
It was Frédéric Passy was also one of the founders of the Inter-Parliamentary Union, an organization for cooperation between the elected representatives of different countries. Despite his age, Passy kept up his work for peace after 1901. In 1905, when the conflict over the union between Sweden and Norway peaked, Passy declared that a peaceful solution would make him a hundred times happier than when he received the Nobel Prize. And Passy saw his wish fulfilled.
