WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange has filed a lawsuit against the Nobel Committee, challenging its decision to award the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize to Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado. The legal complaint demands that the Nobel Foundation halt the disbursement of the prize money, reportedly exceeding one million dollars. Assange argues that Machado’s public support for former U.S. President Donald Trump’s military stance and sanctions against Venezuela contradicts the fundamental principles of the Peace Prize.
In his submission, Assange cited Alfred Nobel’s will, which stipulates that the Peace Prize should honor individuals who promote fraternity among nations and work toward disarmament and peace conferences. He contends that Machado’s endorsement of coercive measures undermines these ideals. The lawsuit has sparked debate among human rights advocates and political observers about the interpretation of Nobel’s legacy.
The Nobel Foundation has yet to issue an official response. Legal experts note that while challenges to Nobel decisions are rare, this case could test the boundaries of the committee’s discretion and the moral criteria underpinning the award.
