Peace Prize
Institut de Droit International: While its recommendations cover international law in its many forms, some of its resolutions particularly pertain to human rights law and peaceful dispute resolution. It was for that reason that the organization received the Nobel Peace Prize.
Physics
The Lord Rayleigh won "for his investigations of the densities of the most important gases and for his discovery of argon in connection with these studies"
Chemistry
Ramsay won "in recognition of his services in the discovery of the inert gaseous elements in air"
Physiology or Medicine
Ivan Pavlov: Starting in 1901, Pavlov was nominated over four successive years for the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine. He did not win the prize until 1904 because his previous nominations were not specific to any discovery, but based on a variety of laboratory findings. When Pavlov received the Nobel Prize it was specified that he did so "in recognition of his work on the physiology of digestion, through which knowledge on vital aspects of the subject has been transformed and enlarged".
