Five Argentine professionals received Nobel Prizes between 1936 and 1984, two of them for Peace, and the others for their scientific contributions, although dozens of local personalities and organizations were nominated in recent years. According to the official historical list of the committee that awards the awards, in 1936 the Argentine lawyer and diplomat Carlos Saavedra Lamas was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize "for his role as father of the Argentine Anti-War Pact of 1933, which he also used as a means to mediate peace between Paraguay and Bolivia in 1935".
