The following is the full text of the Peace Declaration read Friday by Hiroshima Mayor Kazumi Matsui at a ceremony to mark the 76th anniversary of the atomic bombing of the city.
The coming into effect of the Treaty on Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons (TPNW) will empower and breathe new life into the struggles of affected communities, destroyed landscapes and smaller countries for a nuclear-free world.
To mark the 75th anniversary of the only use of nuclear weapons in war, we are proud to be working with the organizers of the “Hibakusha Appeal” for the elimination of nuclear weapons. Written by a leading group of hibakusha—the survivors of the bombs used in Hiroshima and Nagasaki—this is a global appeal with the support of more than 10 million people worldwide. Add your name today.
Exactly 65 years later, their message is as relevant today as it was when it was issued. The scourge of weapons of mass destruction and war still threaten us; but the crises confronting humanity have multiplied exponentially in number, intensity, complexity and impact on human security. Infectious diseases, hunger and poverty, unemployment and inequality, financial instability and economic uncertainty, the retreat from democracy, the reversion to competitive nationalism, and the overarching threat of climate change loom larger than ever. They are magnified by the vacuum in global leadership and a loss of trust and confidence in national and international institutions.
