Mother Teresa (Mary Teresa Bojaxhiu) was given The Nobel Peace Prize 1979. She was not a woman of peace, she "helped" people to needlessly suffer --for religious justifications-- . When accepting the award she criticized countries that legalized abortion - which of course is a big threat to peace /s.

They gave one of those to fucking Henry Kissinger. It clearly doesn't mean what you think it means, if it has any meaning at all.

Stalin was nominated twice

That's not saying anything. Nominations happen by other people, for example for the peace prize other politicians. So politicians under Soviet hegemony would of course nominate their dictator.

Who can nominate people or is nominated is seriously one of the least problems of the prize.
