The 2024 Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to the Japanese organization Nihon Hidankyo for its efforts to create a world without nuclear weapons and to honor the victims of the atomic bombing.
The Nobel Peace Prize in 2024 was awarded to the Japanese organization Nihon Hidankyo, which unites people who survived the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
Also known as the Hibakusha movement, the organization is recognized for its efforts to create a world without nuclear weapons. Its members work tirelessly to raise awareness of the devastating effects of nuclear attacks, disseminating eyewitness accounts and advocating for international peace.
Nihon Hidankyo emerged in August 1945 in response to the US nuclear attack on Japan that killed more than 120,000 people. The organization helped create the international standard of “nuclear taboo,” which continues to prevent the use of nuclear weapons in wars.
However, the Nobel Committee warned that this standard is threatened by the modernization of the arsenals of nuclear-armed states and the risks of escalation in modern conflicts.
It was previously reported that the Nobel Committee announced the winner of the prize for literature. He is the South Korean writer Han Kang.
