"By winning the World Peace Prize, Hidankyo has highlighted the significance of the nuclear taboo for world peace. Peace museums in Japan for the 21st-century focus on addressing issues such as migration conflicts and the rise of right-wing populism through education, public history, and communication, both in Japan and globally, as outlined in Impacts of Museums on Global Communication. Encouraging dialogue among young people from diverse backgrounds will promote intercultural understanding and foster the development of historical thinking skills, ultimately cultivating a sense of empathy."
