“Nuclear weapons and humanity cannot coexist.” Interview about the 2024 Nobel Peace Prize



Following the announcement, Jørgen Watne Frydnes, chair of the Norwegian Nobel Committee, was interviewed by journalist Stig Arild Pettersen about the 2024 Nobel Peace Prize.

The Norwegian Nobel Committee has decided to award the Nobel Peace Prize for 2024 to the Japanese organisation Nihon Hidankyo. This grassroots movement of atomic bomb survivors from Hiroshima and Nagasaki, also known as Hibakusha, is receiving the Peace Prize 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.

  1. Really bottom of the pick. I really have trouble to purely and always how we do it categorize as pure victims. Having studied cause and consequence and long term butterflies, not saying they are not, but to purely ognore the rest.

  2. The Nobel Peace price this time is quite extraordinary as it moves backward 80 years towards the first war experience of Atomic Bomb and the catastrophic consequences followed by until today. As the Chairman of the Nobel Peace Price Committee correctly points out, today the humanity is exposed to the threat of nuclear weapons usage possibility never before. Raging war of Ukraine, Russia says they will not be the first to use the nuclear weapons, but the threat do exist and in the Middle East, a variety of micro nuclear weapons could be used at any time and the long range missile capabilities with a nuclear warhead can create a chain reaction of exploding nuclear arsenal. This means a real destruction of the humanity is very nearby. f the nuclear war starts, there will be no winners, as all of humanity will be gone. So, this Nobel Price is an eye opener of the world, especially the top government leaders and the school children to know more about the first Atom Bombs and compare the cumulative nuclear bombs of today and understand the danger. The governments can explicitly include the nuclear tragedy of 80 years ago in school text books and educate the next generation before the last survivor dies and the society forgets the nuclear attack scenario.
