Could their historic Singapore summit earn Donald Trump and Kim Jong-un a Nobel Peace Prize? The US president and the North Korean leader on Tuesday signed an agreement which, while short on details, reaffirmed Pyongyang’s commitment to the “complete denuclearisation of the Korean Peninsula”.

Some commentators and politicians have suggested the pair be awarded a Nobel for their efforts.

Trump has given a seismic shock to international diplomacy by, among other things, pulling the US out of a landmark nuclear deal with Iran, while Kim is guilty of numerous human rights violations.

''And then there is the question of whether their process bears fruit. The diplomacy of disarmament is invariably risk-laden, complex and long.''

Ten years after it awarded the Peace Prize to the newly elected Barack Obama in a move that was widely mocked as being premature, the Nobel committee does not want to repeat past mistakes.

And in 2000, the Nobel was awarded to then South Korean president Kim Dae-jung for his reconciliation efforts with the North, which turned out to be little more than “a public-relations campaign”, said Henrik Urdal, the head of the Peace Research Institute of Oslo (Prio).

“I think they’ll probably wait to see some pretty significant results before giving another prize in that direction,” Urdal told AFP.

If real progress were to be made on the Korean peninsula, the Nobel committee would find itself in a bit of a dilemma, given the track record of the two main actors.

“Many of those who have received the Peace Prize have had quite a bit of blood on their hands,” noted Urdal.

Geir Lundestad, who served as the influential secretary of the Nobel committee between 1990 and 2014, used to say that the “Nobel is not a prize for saints.”

“But you don’t have to push this logic to the extreme either,” he told AFP on Tuesday.
