I don’t see any clear definition of Nobel Peace Prize since it’s given to President Obama, a leader of a nuclear state for making a speech in Prague, Czech. Prime Minister Mr. Eisak Sato won the same prize by declaring three non-nuclear principles in 1967.
One must remember a major difference between two winners. The former represents a nuclear state that actually used bombs while the latter represents a state that suffered nuclear attacks by the former. If one were qualified to receive Nobel Peace Prize for either making a speech or declaring principles, all the Prime Ministers of Japan after Prime Minister Sato should have received the prize since Japan is supposed to have upheld three non-nuclear principles.
On the other hand, no progress in denuclearization has been seen since President Obama made a famous speech in Prague, Czech.
Note: Three Non-Nuclear Principles Proposed and Upheld by the Government of Japan
Japan shall neither possess nor manufacture nuclear weapons, nor shall it permit their introduction into Japanese territory. The principles were outlined by Prime Minister Eisaku Satō in a speech to the House of Representatives in 1967 amid negotiations over the return of Okinawa from the United States. The Diet formally adopted the principles in 1971. -Wikipedia
