Nobel Prize.
Stockholm: This year’s Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to a private organization in Japan. Let us tell you that this Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to Nihon Hidankyo, an organization of victims of the American atomic bomb attacks on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki during World War II, for its work against nuclear weapons. Jørgen Vatne Frednes, Chairman of the Norwegian Nobel Committee, announced the awarding of the prize to the organization today. He said that “there is pressure on consensus on prohibiting the use of nuclear weapons,” and that is why this organization received the award.
The Nobel Committee wishes to “honor all survivors who, despite physical suffering and traumatic memories, choose to use their experiences to create hope and communicate for peace.” Tomoyuki, head of Hidankyo. As soon as Mimaki received this news, he jumped for joy and his eyes became moist. He asked out loud: “Is this really true?” “I can’t believe it.” Efforts to eliminate nuclear weapons have already been honored by the Nobel Committee. The International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2017, and the Joseph Rotblat and Pugwash Conferences on Science and World Affairs were founded in 1995 to “reduce the role of nuclear weapons in international politics and eliminate these weapons from the world.” He was awarded the long-term award for his efforts in the judiciary.
Peace Prize announced amid global turmoil
This year’s Nobel Peace Prize was announced at a time of devastating conflict in many parts of the world, especially in West Asia, Ukraine and Sudan. In response to a question about whether the decision to choose this year’s winner was influenced by the use of nuclear weapons in Russia’s attacks on Ukraine, Frednis said: “It is very clear that the threat of using nuclear weapons outweighs the use of these weapons.” “It is putting pressure on important international rules related to sanctions, so it is worrying to see how the threat of using nuclear weapons is undermining this rule,” he said. “Maintaining a strong international ban on the use of nuclear weapons is vital for all of humanity.”
In whose name is the award given?
The prize’s founder was Alfred Nobel, who stated in his will that the prize was awarded “for the greatest or best work for the brotherhood of nations, for the abolition or reduction of deployed armies, and for the organization and promotion of peace conferences.” “It must be given.” Last year, Narges Mohammadi, an imprisoned activist who has been fighting for women’s rights and democracy and against the death penalty in Iran for years, received the Nobel Peace Prize. Since then, amid ongoing conflict in some parts of the world, there has been speculation that the Norwegian Nobel Committee will not announce the prize this year. Under the Nobel Prize, a cash sum of 11 million Swedish krona (one million US dollars) is awarded. Unlike other Nobel Prizes that are announced in Stockholm, the Peace Prize is decided by the five-member Norwegian Nobel Committee in Oslo in accordance with the will of the prize’s founder, Alfred Nobel. This economics honor will be announced on October 14. (AP)
