A conference on The Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons (TPNW)

Posted: 2nd August 2021

The Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons (TPNW) that took effect

in January was the central theme of an international conference held online
from Hiroshima on July 31. Issues discussed included how the treaty would
contribute toward nuclear disarmament as well as the role Japan should play
within the pact that it has not yet ratified. The International Symposium
for Peace 2021: The Road to Nuclear Weapons Abolition was sponsored by the
Hiroshima city government, the Hiroshima Peace Culture Foundation and The
Asahi Shimbun. The theme for this year’s event was “A new world
illuminated by ‘treaty of hope.’”
