Overview
- Nihon Hidankyo opened a monthlong exhibit in the United Nations lobby that runs through June 1 during the Nuclear Non‑Proliferation Treaty review.
- Panels in English trace the destruction in Hiroshima and Nagasaki and include artifacts such as a clock frozen at the Hiroshima blast time and a feature on the group’s 2024 Nobel Peace Prize.
- At the opening, secretary-general Jiro Hamasumi said he wants no one to suffer as survivors did, and the mayors of Hiroshima and Nagasaki urged delegates to pursue disarmament.
- The exhibit follows a New York march by more than 200 survivors, relatives, and activists who called for abolishing nuclear weapons, with young peace ambassadors pledging to carry survivor stories.
- The review’s NGO session lists talks by Nihon Hidankyo’s leader, the Hiroshima governor, and both city mayors, a forum where civil groups press governments during the treaty’s five‑year checkup.
