Bias is facilitated by the haste in awarding The Peace Prize, which in Gore's case seemed to be timed to boost a potential presidential campaign.  The Peace Prize has often been awarded only a year or so after the political events that have merited the award, and often well before the long term consequences of those events have become clear (and Arafat's award is particularly controversial in this respect).

Some praise the Nobel Peace Prizes given in 1991 to Aung San Suu Kyi for her heroic struggle against the brutal military dictatorship in [[Myanmar]] (Burma) and the award in 1996 to Jose Ramos Horta and Bishop Belo of [[East Timor]] in recognition of their struggle against the oppressive and, at times, genocidal occupation of that country by the [[Indonesia]]n government.

The awarding of the prize in 1984 to Archbishop Emeritus [[Desmond Tutu]]<ref>[http://nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/peace/laureates/1984/ 1984 Nobel Peace Laureates]</ref>, was condemned by the [[apartheid]] regime as a political ploy, but celebrated everywhere else, as was the joint award to Presidents [[Nelson Mandela]] and [[F.W. de Klerk]] in 1993 <ref>[http://nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/peace/laureates/1993/ ]1993 Nobel Peace Laureates]</ref>, for their efforts in uniting [[South Africa]] in the build-up to the first fully democratic elections. <ref>Incidentally, the awards to Tutu and Mandela have resulted in Vilakazi Street in Soweto, Johannesburg, becoming the only street in the world to be home to two different laureates.</ref>
