The award to Nihon Hidankyo acknowledges that no nuclear weapon has been used in war in nearly 80 years, highlighting the significance of their contributions.
Jrgen Watne Frydnes noted the Norwegian Nobel Committee hadn't been able to contact Nihon Hidankyo to inform them about the prestigious award.
The extraordinary efforts of Nihon Hidankyo and Hibakusha representatives have been instrumental in establishing the nuclear taboo that deters the use of nuclear weapons.
As of March 2016, there were 174,080 surviving Hibakusha in Japan, along with many others in Korea and around the world.
