Dear friends for peace and against nuclear weapons,
In August 2003, the World Conference against A &
H Bombs launched a new signature campaign "Abolish nuclear
weapons now! Let there be no more Hiroshimas and No more Nagasakis."
(Petition form is attached.) It was endorsed and jointly launched
by 7300 participants, including delegates of peace and anti-nuclear
organizations of 20 countries at its closing day in Nagasaki (Aug.
9). Now the signature campaign is being geared up with supports
from more than 45 countries.
In spring of 2005, the Review Conference of the
Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons will be held.
And August of that year marks the 60th anniversary of the atomic
bombings. Toward these two important events, this campaign aims
to mobilize public opinion on the global scale that refuses the
development of new types of nuclear weapons and the use of nuclear
weapons and that demands the implementation of the undertaking
to achieve the total elimination of nuclear weapons.
Around the same time, Hiroshima Mayor Akiba Tadatoshi
and Nagasaki Mayor Ito Iccho proposed a new campaign in a conference
of the Mayors for Peace to put pressure on the NPT 2005 Review
Conference to start a negotiating process for the abolition of
nuclear weapons. And in May this year, Prof. Joseph Rotblat called
for the United States to “get rid of its nuclear arsenal”, or
“it should withdraw from the Non-Proliferation Treaty.” He then
proposed the Pugwash Conference to undertake a campaign to educate
and influence public opinion for the abolition of nuclear weapons
even if it would mean changing their “traditional mode of work.”
Sharing the common goal of their and other initiatives,
our signature campaign aims to build up the grass-root voices
to support them all over the world. Both Hiroshima and Nagasaki
mayors have vigorously endorsed the petition. In Japan, we plan
to collect signatures from 10 million people by summer 2004 and
20 million by the 60th anniversary of the atomic bombing in 2005.
Please endorse the petition and also promote the
campaign in your country. We also want to ask you to pitch the
petition at your group’s website and ask its visitors for their
endorsement (or you could guide the visitors to our website petition
page
Let us work together to make 2005 a turning point for a world
without nuclear weapons.
