Oslo, Norway—The Nobel Peace Prize was awarded Friday to Japan's Nihon Hidankyo, a grassroots movement of Hiroshima and Nagasaki survivors pushing
Tomoyuki Mimaki, representative director of the Nihon Hidankyo, attends a press conference after the group was awarded the 2024 Nobel Peace Prize, in Hiroshima on October 11, 2024. The Nobel Peace Prize was on October 11 awarded to the Japanese anti-nuclear group Nihon Hidankyo, a grassroots movement of atomic bomb survivors from Hiroshima and Nagasaki, also known as Hibakusha.
“This year’s prize is a prize that focuses on the necessity of upholding this nuclear taboo. And we all have a responsibility, particularly the nuclear powers,” Frydnes told reporters. And in the Middle East, where tensions have escalated dramatically, Israel, the region’s only nuclear-armed state, has vowed a “deadly, precise and surprising” response to Iran’s direct strike on Israeli territory on October 1.
The Nobel committee noted that next year will mark 80 years since two American atomic bombs killed an estimated 214,000 inhabitants of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, prompting Japan’s surrender and the end of World War II. Hiroshima “was like hell on Earth,” she told Agence France Presse at the time, describing survivors looking like “a procession of ghosts,” burned flesh hanging from their bones and some “carrying their eyeballs.”
There are currently nine nuclear-armed states: the United States, Russia, France, Britain, China, India, Pakistan, North Korea, and likely Israel.
