The Norwegian Nobel Committee announced Friday morning that the Nobel Peace Prize had been awarded to the United Nation’s World Food Program.

In her announcement, NNC Chairwoman Berit Reiss-Anderson emphasized that “the need for international solidarity and multilateral cooperation is more conspicuous than ever.” The WFP was awarded the prize “for its efforts to combat hunger, for its contribution to bettering conditions for peace in conflict-affected areas and for acting as a driving force in efforts to prevent the use of hunger as a weapon of war and conflict.”
