New Delhi. It has been decided to honor Nihon Hidankyo, the Japanese organization that campaigns worldwide against nuclear weapons, with the Nobel Peace Prize this year. The Nobel Committee announced this in Stockholm, the capital of Sweden. This organization, which campaigns against nuclear weapons all over the world, includes those who survived the nuclear attacks on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in the Second World War.
These people are called Hibakusha. These hibakusha share their suffering and painful memories around the world through the Nihon Hidankyo organization. The Nobel Committee has said that one day these people who suffered nuclear attacks will no longer be with us, but the new generation of Japan will continue to share their memories and experiences with the world and remind them how dangerous nuclear weapons are for the world. .
The Nihon Hidankyo organization was founded in 1956 during the Second World Conference against Atomic and Hydrogen Bombs. Since its inception, the organization has sent Hibakusha, or groups of victims, to different parts of the world to educate the people of the world about the terrible damage and human suffering caused by nuclear weapons. The organization sought to ensure that no more hibakusha were created anywhere in the world, and that the world could become nuclear weapon free.
