A grassroots Japanese organization made up of atomic bomb survivors won the 2024 Nobel Peace Prize, the Norwegian Nobel Committee announced Friday.
The organization, Nihon Hidankyo, uses testimony from those who survived the 1945 Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings to campaign for nuclear disarmament and the abolition of nuclear weapons.
Announcing the winner at a ceremony in Oslo, the Nobel committee's chair, Joergen Watne Frydnes, described Nihon Hidankyo as a group that has "contributed greatly to the establishment of the nuclear taboo."
Frydnes said that taboo was now "under pressure."
