Nihon Hidankyo

From Wikiquote

The Japan Confederation of A- and H-Bomb Sufferers Organizations (popularly known as Nihon Hidankyō) is a group formed by hibakusha in 1956 with the goals of pressuring the Japanese government to improve support of the victims and lobbying governments for the abolition of nuclear weapons. The organisation's activities included providing thousands of witness accounts, issuing resolutions and public appeals, and sending annual delegations to various international organisations, including the United Nations, to advocate for global nuclear disarmament. This organization was awarded the 2024 Nobel Peace Prize for "for its efforts to achieve a world free of nuclear weapons and for demonstrating through witness testimony that nuclear weapons must never be used again".
