Researcher Kari Vogt at the University of Oslo suggested other Iranian reformists as candidates, including leading dissident cleric Hassan Yousefi-Eshkevari and lawyer Shirin Ebadi for her fight for women's and children's rights.

Other possible candidates include Afghan President Hamid Karzai and frequently speculated winners such as the Salvation Army and the European Union for its planned expansion eastwards.

"Theoretically speaking, the United Nations could have won the prize, but it won't since it recently did. Bush is out of the question," Barth Eide said.
