The Indira Gandhi Peace Prize for 2002 was awarded to Norodom Sihanouk. This recognition is given to individuals or organizations who have made noteworthy contributions to peace, disarmament, and development.

Option 1, John Hume, is an incorrect choice. Despite his significant contributions towards peace in Northern Ireland, the correct recipient for this specific year and award is Norodom Sihanouk.

Option 2 suggests Nelson Mandela, who is renowned globally for his peace efforts and leadership in South Africa. However, he did not receive this particular award in 2002.

Option 4 is Sadako Ogata. While she has been recognised for her humanitarian work, she did not receive the Indira Gandhi Peace Prize in 2002.

In 2002, the correct recipient was Norodom Sihanouk, who was recognized for his efforts in leading Cambodia through a challenging period of transition. This makes option 3 the correct answer.
