One prediction market prices this story:

Will the International Criminal Court win the Nobel Peace Prize in 2027? — the market puts it at 2%, with $6k traded in the last 24 hours, closing 1 Apr 2028. The market resolves to Yes if the International Criminal Court is named as a recipient of the 2027 Nobel Peace Prize in an official announcement by the Norwegian Nobel Committee. It resolves to No if the court does not win or if no such announcement occurs by March 31, 2028, at 11:59 PM ET. Readers often mistake the linked EU Sakharov Prize award for a Nobel win, but only the Nobel Peace Prize counts.
