The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDG) include Goal No. 16 which is peace. But among the 3637 UN SDG Partnership Projects only 48 are committed to reducing violence (see image).
The sad reason is that almost all UN SDG projects are driven by donors from the U.S and the NATO countries - those countries that refused to picking up UN negotiations for nuclear disarmament!
So can the Nobel Prize encourage further projects for peace? And what may being the content and aim of these projects?
Who else would like to seeing this as a breakthrough for peace?
What can, what will you contribute now?

Probably not. These things rarely make a difference. You only get real peace when the substantive issues behind a conflict are resolved once and for all. It's real politic in the real world that counts and often an overwhelming use of force (judiciously applied).
As a first, it brought exposure both to the cause and those who didn't sign on, and that's a good thing!
