The Nobel Peace Prize has been awarded to Nihon Hidankyo, a Japanese organization representing survivors of the Hiroshima and Nagasaki atomic bombings, recognizing its steadfast activism against nuclear weapons proliferation.

Jørgen Watne Frydnes, chair of the Norwegian Nobel Committee, emphasized the importance of this award in light of the increasing pressure on the worldwide taboo against nuclear weapon usage.
