STORYLINE:
A traditional torchlit procession was held in Oslo Tuesday to honour the winners of the the 2024 Nobel Peace Prize.
Three survivors of the U.S. atomic bombings of Japan collected the 2024 Nobel Peace Prize on behalf of Nihon Hidankyo, an organization that campaigns against nuclear weapons.
Terumi Tanaka, Shigemitsu Tanaka and Toshiyuki Mimaki received the diploma and gold medal associated with the prize at a solemn ceremony in earlier Tuesday.
The three winners waved from a balcony of the Grand Hotel whilst crowds of people holding torches chanted "no more war" on the street below.
Nobel Committee Chair Jørgen Watne Frydnes said the group was receiving the award, which was announced in October, for "demonstrating, through witness testimony, that nuclear weapons must never be used again."
The weapons have grown exponentially in power and number since being used for the first and only time in warfare by the United States on Nagasaki and Hiroshima in 1945.
The bombings pushed Japan to surrender to the Allies. They killed some 210,000 people by the end of 1945, but the full death toll from radiation is certainly higher.
The three Nobel Laureates held a banner bearing a picture of an origami crane, which became an anti-nuclear symbol in homage to Sadako Sasaki, who experienced the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and died of leukemia aged 12.
Guided by a folk tale, Sadako folded hundreds of paper cranes in the hope that making 1,000 paper birds would make her wish of recovery come true.
