Isn't the Nobel prize usually awarded for results?

NO

Not only results, but practical results. You know, things that actually do something.

Well, lets see how many times the UN has won the prize.

1954: Office of UN High Commission for Refugees

1965: UN Children's Fund (UNICEF)

1977: Amnesty Intl (Not UN, I know...)

1981: Office of UN High Commission for Refugees

1988: UN Appeasement, I mean Peacekeeping Forces

These are just the ones I found where 'UN' in particular was mentioned. Don't know if any of the individuals listed had anything to do with the UNited Nothings.

I wonder when the Human Rights commission will get their crack, or the Oil for Food program!!
