The Nobel Peace Prize was awarded Friday to the Japanese organization Nihon Hidankyo, a grassroots movement of atomic bomb survivors from Hiroshima and Nagasaki, for its efforts to achieve a world free of nuclear weapons.
The Norwegian Nobel Committee Chair Jorgen Watne Frydnes said the prize was awarded to the group for “demonstrating through witness testimony that nuclear weapons must never be used again.” He said the organization’s “extraordinary efforts” have “contributed greatly to the establishment of the nuclear taboo.”
