This was revealed by a group of young people working on the abolition of nuclear weapons "KNOW NUKES TOKYO" held an online press conference on the night of the 18th.
The Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons came into effect in January last year, and the first Conference of the Parties will be held in Vienna, the capital of Austria, for three days from the 21st of next month. ..
In addition to holding an event for the general public to deliver the testimony of the A-bomb survivors, they are planning activities to convey the voices of the A-bomb survivors to the representatives of each country at the conference of the parties.
Although the Government of Japan has indicated that it will not participate in the Conference of the Parties along with the nuclear powers, members would like to explain in various polls that many people support the treaty.
Mayu Seto, a member who is active in the field and whose grandmother was exposed to the atomic bomb in Hiroshima, said, "There is an air that there may be a waste of activities aimed at eliminating nuclear weapons due to a real war, but this conference is an opportunity to somehow change. I think that. I would like to convey the voice of the bombed area and use it for future activities. "
