Nihon Hidankyo, a Japanese group of atomic bomb survivors, has won the 2024 Nobel Peace Prize.
Nobel Committee Chair Joergen Watne Frydnes praised the “extraordinary efforts” to “achieve a world free of nuclear weapons”.
The winner was announced at a ceremony in Oslo on Friday, where Mr Frydnes said the group had “contributed greatly to the establishment of the nuclear taboo”.
The Norwegian Nobel Committee praised the group’s use of witness testimony to ensure nuclear weapons must never be used again.
