Japanese Organization Nihon Hidankyo Receives Nobel Peace Prize 2024

The 2024 Nobel Peace Prize has been given to Nihon Hidankyo, a Japanese organization that supports people who survived the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The award was made by the Norwegian Nobel Committee. The group received recognition for its efforts to promote a world free of nuclear weapons and for its compelling eyewitness accounts of the atrocities of nuclear conflict.

Nihon Hidankyo is the biggest and most powerful organization of Japanese atomic bomb survivors, having been founded in 1956. Its goal has been to increase public awareness of the devastating effects that nuclear weapons have on humanity. The Hibakusha, or survivors of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, have left a lasting legacy by giving their firsthand accounts of the carnage they witnessed in August 1945. This powerful norm has stigmatized the use of nuclear weapons as immoral.

The Nobel Committee praised Nihon Hidankyo for their unwavering efforts to generate and sustain global opposition to nuclear weapons, noting that their testimony has provided a unique, first-hand understanding of the incomprehensible pain and suffering caused by such weapons.

 

"The Hibakusha help us to describe the indescribable, to think the unthinkable," the Committee said in its announcement.
