Two secretaries-general, Dag Hammarskjöld and Kofi Annan, were each awarded the prize; as were Ralph Bunche, a UN negotiator, René Cassin, a contributor to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and the American Secretary of State [[Cordell Hull]] for his role in the organization's founding. [[Lester B. Pearson]], the Canadian [[Secretary of State for External Affairs]], was awarded the prize in 1957 for his role in organizing the UN's first peacekeeping force to resolve the Suez Crisis. UNICEF won the prize in 1965, the [[International Labour Organization]] in 1969, the UN Peacekeeping Forces in 1988, the International Atomic Energy Agency (which reports to the UN) in 2005, and the UN-supported [[Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons]] in 2013. The UN High Commissioner for Refugees was awarded the prize in 1954 and 1981, becoming one of only two recipients to win the prize twice. The UN as a whole was awarded the prize in 2001, sharing it with Annan.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/peace/laureates/index.html |title=All Nobel Peace Prizes |publisher=Nobel Prize |access-date=5 November 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131122101016/http://www.nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/peace/laureates/index.html |archive-date=22 November 2013 |url-status=live}}</ref> In 2007, the [[Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change|IPCC]] received the prize "for their efforts to build up and disseminate greater knowledge about man-made climate change, and to lay the foundations for the measures that are needed to counteract such change."<ref>{{cite web |title=The Nobel Peace Prize 2007 |url=https://www.nobelprize.org/prizes/peace/2007/summary/ |website=NobelPrize.org |access-date=23 November 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181123143904/https://www.nobelprize.org/prizes/peace/2007/summary/ |archive-date=23 November 2018 |url-status=live}}</ref> Summary: Please note that all contributions to Christianpedia may be edited, altered, or removed by other contributors.
