The Nobel Peace Prize had been awarded in Oslo since 1901 — a deliberate separation from the science and literature prizes held in Stockholm, reflecting Alfred Nobel's specific instruction in his 1895 will that the peace prize be awarded by a Norwegian committee. Norway was still in union with Sweden when Nobel wrote that provision, making the geographic split a quietly pointed one.
2001 marked the centennial award, given that year to the United Nations and Kofi Annan.
