The moment that is currently first Person the effects of atomic bombs launched by the US on Japan.
One of those survivors is Jiro Hamasumi, representative of the Nobel Peace Prize 2024, who at a UN conference, implored not to transfer the levels that caused the catastrophe of 1945 in Hiroshima and Nagashaki, a situation which defined as “hell.”
“Atomic bombs are ‘The Devil’s Weapons’ who deprive the victims of their future and torment their families “Hamasumi said during the third meeting of the states of the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons, opened on Monday, March 3 at the UN Headquarters.
Thus, Hamasumi, who embodies the role of deputy secretary of the Japanese Federation of Organizations of Victims of Bombs A and H (Nihon Hidankyo), reported his personal experience and how he was exposed to Hiroshima’s bombing radiation even being in his mother’s belly.
In this regard, he said that “the Hibakusha -the term used in Japan to refer to the atomic bomb survivors – They will never feel safe unless the number of nuclear weapons is reduced to zero ”he said. In addition to adding that the war will not end until the more than 12,100 nuclear weapons that exist in the world become zero.
Among the rawness of his testimonies, he recounts the traumatic situation of some of his relatives, such as his father, whom he could never know, since on August 6, 1945, the day the bomb fell on the Japanese city, He left and work and “never returned.”
For all these reasons, the Japanese assured that the world cannot allow anyone else to experience “the hell” of the Hibakusha. The problem of everything for him is that of the 94 countries and regions that signed the treaty to prohibit nuclear weapons and development, There are some like the US, Russia, China, France or Britain who oppose said treaty and do not attend the meetings regularly. Others like his own country, Japan, either attended the last meeting.
“It’s extremely Disappointing that Japan has decided not to participate in this meeting even as an observer ”Said Melissa Parke, executive director of the international campaign to abolish nuclear weapons, which received the 2017 Nobel Peace Prize.
