Hiroshima Vision News Today

Momentum for nuclear disarmament has not increased, partly because Russia has threatened to use nuclear weapons in its military aggression against Ukraine.

NAGASAKI--A group of experts discussing ways to rid the world of nuclear weapons ended two days of talks here without reaching specific agreement in part due to differences over the merits of deterrence and the importance of a nuclear ban treaty.

Citizens that include atomic bomb survivors are traveling to New York to advocate for a world without nuclear weapons at a meeting of signatories of a nuclear ban treaty.

Survivors of the 1945 atomic bombings have shown an unwavering determination to continue asking about the responsibility of the United States for dropping the bombs as part of their push toward a world without nuclear weapons.

Atomic bomb survivors from Nagasaki did not hide their bitter disappointment at the central government’s unchanging stance toward their various policy requests.

In this world, unilateral disarmament and the hope that setting an example will inspire other nations to follow suit is fantasy.

The gap is widening between Prime Minister Fumio Kishida and the citizens of Hiroshima and Nagasaki on the challenge of preventing the use of nuclear weapons while taking steps to reduce and eliminate them.

NAGASAKI--With Typhoon No. 6 barreling toward Kyushu, Nagasaki city officials held a scaled-back ceremony to mark the 78th anniversary of the atomic bombing.

International agreements on human rights that have been reached and established through many years of strenuous efforts involving so many people have been casually and brutally violated just by one nation’s leader.

Hiroshima marks the 78th anniversary of the city's atomic bombing by the United States after its nuclear legacy took center stage when it hosted the summit of the Group of Seven major economies in May.
