*Theodore Roosevelt (1906) "for his successful mediation to end the Russo-Japanese war and for his interest in arbitration, having provided the Hague arbitration court with its very first case"

*Woodrow Wilson (1919) as "founder of the League of Nations"

*Jimmy Carter (2002) "for his decades of untiring effort to find peaceful solutions to international conflicts, to advance democracy and human rights, and to promote economic and social development"
