Historically, peace is achieved most often through victory and least often through diplomacy. You all know the phrase "History is written by those who've won" I presume? It's usually quite peaceful after one contestant in a conflict ceases to exist. If peace is the desireable end result for awarding this prize, then are the means of arriving at that peace actually spelled out, or are they merely implied?
Perhaps this prize is more about subscribing to a certain set of ideals than achieving any actual peace.
