The "Japan Council against Atomic Bombs", which aims to realize a world free of nuclear weapons, began on the 31st, before it will be 76 years next month after the atomic bombs were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
The Japan Council against Atomic Bombs = "Japan Council against Atomic Bombs" and the Japan Council against Atomic Bombs = "Japan Council against Atomic Bombs" are held in Hiroshima and Nagasaki around August each year.
Of these, the Fukushima Prefecture has been one of the venues for the nuclear water ban tournament since the nuclear accident 10 years ago, and this year's tournament began in Fukushima City on the 31st.
In order to prevent the spread of the new coronavirus, we narrowed down the attendees to the venue and distributed the tournament on the Internet, saying, "Let's move forward toward the realization of a peaceful society without nuclear power, nuclear weapons, or war." We have adopted an appeal to do.
On the other hand, the Haramizukyo tournament is scheduled to start on the 2nd of next month, and both groups will hold many events such as symposiums and study sessions online following last year.
In addition, this year's Japan Council against Atomic Bombs will be the first competition since the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons, which prohibits the use, development, and possession of nuclear weapons, came into effect.
As the Japanese government clarifies its stance of not participating in the treaty, the A-bomb survivors are urging the government to participate in the treaty as soon as possible through the convention.
