News summary

The Nobel Peace Prize for 2024 has been awarded to Nihon Hidankyo, a Japanese grassroots organization of atomic bomb survivors from Hiroshima and Nagasaki, also known as Hibakusha, for their efforts to promote a nuclear-free world and highlight the catastrophic consequences of nuclear weapons. The Norwegian Nobel Committee praised their impactful witness testimonies that emphasize the moral imperatives against nuclear warfare. This award comes amidst ongoing global conflicts, including violence in the Middle East, Ukraine, and Sudan, highlighting the continued threat of nuclear arms. The Peace Prize, awarded in Oslo, distinguishes the Hibakusha for cultivating hope and engagement for peace despite their suffering. Last year's laureate was Narges Mohammadi, recognized for her advocacy for women's rights in Iran. The Nobel Peace Prize remains unique in being awarded in Oslo, while others are given in Stockholm, reflecting Alfred Nobel's vision for the prize.
