Two secretaries-general, Dag Hammarskjöld and Kofi Annan, were each awarded the prize; as were Ralph Bunche, a UN negotiator, René Cassin, a contributor to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and the American Secretary of State [[Cordell Hull]] for his role in the organization's founding. [[Lester B. Pearson]], the Canadian [[Secretary of State for External Affairs]], was awarded the prize in 1957 for his role in organizing the UN's first peacekeeping force to resolve the Suez Crisis.

UNICEF won the prize in 1965, the [[International Labour Organization]] in 1969, the UN Peacekeeping Forces in 1988, the International Atomic Energy Agency (which reports to the UN) in 2005, and the UN-supported [[Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons]] in 2013.
