<P> The awards given to Mikhail Gorbachev, Yitzhak Rabin, Shimon Peres, Menachem Begin and Yasser Arafat, Lê Đức Thọ, Henry Kissinger, Jimmy Carter, Al Gore, IPCC, Liu Xiaobo, Aung San Suu Kyi Barack Obama, and the European Union have all been the subject of controversy . </P> <P> The awards given to Lê Đức Thọ and Henry Kissinger prompted two dissenting Committee members to resign . Thọ refused to accept the prize, on the grounds that such "bourgeois sentimentalities" were not for him and that peace had not actually been achieved in Vietnam . Kissinger donated his prize money to charity, did not attend the award ceremony and would later offer to return his prize medal after the fall of South Vietnam to North Vietnamese forces 18 months later . </P> <P> Foreign Policy has listed Mahatma Gandhi, Eleanor Roosevelt, U Thant, Václav Havel, Ken Saro - Wiwa, Fazle Hasan Abed, and Corazon Aquino as people who "never won the prize, but should have". Many believe that the prize should have gone to Pope John Paul II, Hélder Câmara,, Zilda Arns and Dorothy Day . Both Eleanor Roosevelt and Dorothy Day were recipients of the Gandhi Peace Award . </P> <P> The omission of Mahatma Gandhi has been particularly widely discussed, including in public statements by various members of the Nobel Committee . The Committee has confirmed that Gandhi was nominated in 1937, 1938, 1939, 1947, and, finally, a few days before his assassination in January 1948 . The omission has been publicly regretted by later members of the Nobel Committee . Geir Lundestad, Secretary of Norwegian Nobel Committee in 2006 said, "The greatest omission in our 106 - year history is undoubtedly that Mahatma Gandhi never received the Nobel Peace prize . Gandhi could do without the Nobel Peace prize, whether Nobel committee can do without Gandhi is the question". In 1948, following Gandhi's death, the Nobel Committee declined to award a prize on the ground that "there was no suitable living candidate" that year . Later, when the Dalai Lama was awarded the Peace Prize in 1989, the chairman of the committee said that this was "in part a tribute to the memory of Mahatma Gandhi". </P>
