Comments: Horst primarily nominated the Inter-Parliamentary Union as a single nominee, or as a co-recipient alonside the Permanent International Peace Bureau. In case the Committee wanted to give the prize to a person Horst primarily suggested that the prize ought to be divided equally between Cremer and Gobat. His subsidiary suggestion was a divided prize between Gobat and Ducommun. The Inter-Parliamentary Union was included on the short list, but no new evalutation was requested.
