The Haven Peace Prize, named after the city of Haven in Sanctaria, is a peace award established by Haven City Council. It is awarded annually to individuals or organisations who have "made significant efforts towards ending warfare, working for peace, or promoting fraternity and community". Originally awarded to just Sanctarians, in 1975 the criteria was widened to allow any person or organisation around the International Democratic Union to be eligible for the award. It is considered the foremost peace prize to be awarded, and its presentation each year garners a lot of international attention.
The recipient is selected by the Haven Peace Prize Committee, a panel of ten individuals selected by Haven City Council. Although appointed by the city council, its members are independent of the council and the committee itself is chartered as a private body. It is typically composed of retired ambassadors, judges, and former heads of charities and civil society organisations. The presentation is made, usually each September, in the main auditorium of Haven City Theatre; since 1990 the presentation of the award has been made by the President of Sanctaria.
It has occasionally received some criticism due to the divisiveness of some of its recipients. The most recent award, in 2022, was given to the World Assembly's International Humanitarian Aid Coordination Committee, the second time this body has received the award.
History
Nomination and selection
Recipients
Recipients, also known as Laureates, are presented with the prize each September in the main auditorium of Haven City Theatre. The award has, since 1990, been presented by the President of Sanctaria and is generally considered a highpoint of the international diplomatic calendar. Laureates receive 1.1 million Sanctarian pounds, and individuals are entitled to use the post-nominals LP (Laureatum pacis).
