The world’s biggest conversation in Hiroshima

In his 2018 address to the University of Geneva, United Nations Secretary-General, António Guterres,  made clear the important role of young people in the UN’s Agenda for Disarmament. Describing the young as “the most important force for change in our world” he committed to working to help them “acquire the knowledge and skills to amplify your voices and lead the change we need.”

The August 6 global peace dialogue event “UN 75 in Hiroshima” held on the 75th anniversary of the A-bombing of Hiroshima and in the 75th year since the founding of the United Nations was part of this process; part of what the Secretary-General described in his opening message, delivered by videolink, as “the world’s biggest conversation on how we can collectively reinvigorate global cooperation for a better future for all”.  Due to the Covid-19 pandemic all the participants who attended wore face shields throughout the event and two participants joined from outside Hiroshima Prefecture by videolink.
