True. Also Aung San Suu Kyi who after being awarded the Peace Prize went on to support Myanmar's military for their genocide of Rohingyas in Rakhine and persecution of journalists. She actually appeared in the ICJ to defend their crimes against humanity.
Has her Nobel prize been revoked? I know most of the honours heaped on her were taken back, including the Elie Wiesel Award by the US Holocaust memorial.
There is that too. Same with Obama. Let’s just say most politicians are not worthy candidates for the shared meaning of peace and global admiration of those who work towards peace.
Regarding revocation, no, the Committee does not revoke awards as they claim these awards reflect the moment they are given.
