As is the case every year, speculation has hit fever pitch in the run-up to Friday's announcement of the laureates, but the gloomy state of the world has made it harder than ever to predict the winner.

OSLO, Norway - The Nobel Peace Prize to be awarded on Friday could go to women's rights campaigners, climate activists or international courts investigating war crimes, with experts saying the field is wide open.

"A large part of the world's population is deprived of the rights which provide the foundations for peace and freedom. Iranian women have shown they are ready to fight for theirs, even if the price is high," he said. Also mentioned is Iranian-American activist and journalist Masih Alinejad, who started the movement "My Stealthy Freedom" encouraging Iranian women to protest against the mandatory requirement to wear the hijab.

Or, with the Universal Declaration on Human Rights celebrating its 75th anniversary this year, the prestigious prize could also go to the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg.
