Special Series: The Day the Nuclear Umbrella is Folded


Part 10: A-bombed nation's researchers make proposals for nuclear disarmament
by the "Nuclear Weapons Can Be Eliminated" Reporting Team A-bomb survivors (hibakusha) have continued to call for a world without nuclear weapons to be realized as early as possible. At the same time, the A-bombed nation of Japan is charged with the moral responsibility of speaking out to the world about the inhuman aspects of nuclear arms. Now that 100 days have passed since the change of power in the Japanese government, the question is what concrete action the new administration will undertake in pursuit of the abolition of nuclear weapons. How can the administration resolve the dilemma of appealing for nuclear abolition while relying on the U.S. "nuclear umbrella" with regard to its national security? In the milestone 65th year since the atomic bombing, the A-bombed nation must speak out more forcefully.
