  1. > The Nobel Peace Prize has been awarded to Nihon Hidankyo, a Japanese organisation of atomic bomb survivors.

    > Nobel Committee Chair Berit Reiss-Andersen praised the “extraordinary efforts” of the group whose campaign has “contributed greatly to the establishment of the nuclear taboo”.

  2. Well, this makes more sense than the “Physics” one beings awarded to AI researchers.

  3. I think it’s a message or a warning to all ongoing conflicts “look at what damage a nuclear war can cause”, without actually taking a stand in any conflict.

  4. not to take anything away from them but damn its a crazy time in the world to be giving out peace prizes

  5. When I was a child, my grandmother told me that she had seen the mushroom cloud from the atomic bomb that fell on Hiroshima.
    I also learned in my education as a primary school, junior high school and high school student about how much the survivors suffered, so I think this organization deserves to win an award.
    I want the weapons that killed so many of my countrymen to disappear quickly, but I know that will be difficult.

  6. giving the Peace Nobel prize to a member of the Axis over something that happened in WW2 is certainly a choice, specially when Japan never really apologized for most of the things they did
