Last year, jailed Iranian human rights activist Narges Mohammadi won the Nobel Peace Prize for her fight against the oppression of Iranian women. Winners are awarded a medal, diploma, and 11 million Swedish kroner, the equivalent of slightly more than $1 million. The ceremony for the award will be held in Oslo on Dec. 10.

The 2024 Nobel Peace Prize has been awarded to Japanese organization Nihon Hidankyo for its work to "achieve a world free of nuclear weapons."

Nihon Hidankyo uses the testimony of those who survived the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings to campaign for the abolition of nuclear weapons.
