In his nomination, Norwegian MP Petter Eide said the movement had "forced countries outside the US to grapple with racism within their own societies," the report said.
"I find that one of the key challenges we have seen in America, but also in Europe and Asia, is the kind of increasing conflict based on inequality," Eide said. "Black Lives Matter has become a very important worldwide movement to fight racial injustice.
"They have had a tremendous achievement in raising global awareness and consciousness about racial injustice."
