One prediction market prices this story:

  • International Court of Justice — the market puts it at 2%, closing 31 Dec 2027. The outcome is Yes if the International Court of Justice wins the Nobel Peace Prize in 2027. The outcome is No if it does not win that prize during that year. Readers often mistake the election of a member for an award to the institution itself.
