The United Nations has adopted a draft treaty on the ban on nuclear weapons, which is expected to be officially passed at the general meeting in September, and the Research Center for Nuclear Weapons Abolition, Nagasaki University has issued a welcome statement.As the only A-bombed country, the Japanese government is urged to break away from the security policy of dependence on nuclear deterrence.
In the statement, while the nuclear disarmament so far was mainly carried out by nuclear powers, the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons is a historic turning point as it is the fruit of the wishes of non-nuclear-weapon states and the abolition of nuclear weapons. Positioned as an event.
He praised the treaty's violation of international law for nuclear weapons and the inclusion of nuclear threats in the text, and said that it would put great pressure on nuclear-weapon states and countries that depend on nuclear umbrellas.We expect that more efforts will be required for nuclear disarmament in places such as the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty.
He told the Japanese government that it is time to take leadership in the abolition of nuclear weapons, not only to break away from the security policy dependent on nuclear deterrence, but also to consider the Northeast Asian Nuclear Weapon Free Zone concept.
Furthermore, in order to link this treaty to the abolition of nuclear weapons, it is necessary for non-nuclear-weapon states to make efforts to establish the escape from nuclear deterrence as an international norm and pave the way for nuclear disarmament.
