Where does it say that the Norwegian Nobel Committee is independent from politics?

As stated on their webpage, "As far as possible, the composition of the Committee is to reflect the relative strengths of the political parties in the Storting." - https://www.nobelpeaceprize.org/nobel-committee/

It is independent to the sitting Norwegian government, as members can't have current seats both in the committee and Storting, but several committee do represent the political parties in Norway.

Currently the committee is made from former Leader of the Centre Party, a foreign policy scholar and writer, former Conservative Party cabinet member that was the Minister of Education and Research, a Political scientist and Chief Executive Officer of Utøya AS, and last the former Labour Party Foreign Affairs Secretary.

I find it hard to see how the committee can be genuinely independent of politics when its members are appointed by the Norwegian Parliament.

"independent from politics" seems to have a few different meanings. One is inherently bad and another is not necessarily bad. Of course the committee is political and the entire nature of the award is political.

They have really not made the impression that they are independent of politics, all laureates taken together. But if they improve I'm all for it.

There's always FIFA to give out a prize if necessary.

The committee is selected by the Norwegian parliament, a political body.

It is not really. They claim so but the members are appointed by the Norwegian government. One of the members, Asle Toje, is very much a political appointed member by the right-wing FRP party.

This process is decided by the Alfred Nobel will.

They're so independent from politics they gave a Peace Prize to President "Drone Strikes" Obama after he was in office for merely a year.

giving the prize to Obama was not political at all.
