Who among the following Presidents/ Vice Presidents of the United States of America was awarded Nobel Peace Prize for work to find peaceful solutions to international conflicts, to advance democracy and human rights, and to promote economic and social development ?

Jimmy Carter, the 39th President of the United States, was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2002. The official citation specifically credits him 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.' While other US leaders have won the prize, their citations differ: Woodrow Wilson was honored in 1919 for his role in founding the League of Nations [1], Barack Obama in 2009 for his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy, and Al Gore in 2007 for his work on climate change. Carter's award recognized his post-presidency work through the Carter Center, which focused on conflict mediation, monitoring elections to advance democracy, and fighting neglected tropical diseases to promote social development. His mediation in the Camp David Accords during his presidency also laid the groundwork for his lifelong commitment to peace.
