ISLAMABAD: Advocacy group Sikhs for Justice has announced the nomination of Pakistan’s Chief of Army Staff Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir and United States Vice President J. D. Vance for the 2027 Nobel Peace Prize.
According to a statement issued by the group, both leaders were nominated for their roles in helping arrange a ceasefire between the United States and Iran, which it said contributed to reducing the risk of a wider regional conflict.
SFJ leader Gurpatwant Singh Pannun claimed that Field Marshal Asim Munir played a key role through what he termed “command diplomacy,” maintaining direct communication with decision-makers in Washington and Tehran during a critical period.
The statement also credited US Vice President J.D. Vance for taking important political decisions that supported diplomatic engagement and helped prevent further escalation.
The group said the nomination was based on efforts that helped de-escalate tensions, avert major military confrontation, and promote regional stability at a time when international institutions struggled to deliver immediate results.
However, there has been no official confirmation from the Nobel Committee regarding the nomination, as the process remains confidential under its long-standing rules. Neither Pakistani nor US authorities have so far issued any formal response to the development.
