PEACE DECLARATION
That fateful summer, 8:15. The roar of a B-29 breaks the morning calm.
A parachute opens in the blue sky. Then suddenly, a flash, an enormous
blast - silence - hell on Earth.
The eyes of young girls watching the parachute were melted. Their
faces became giant charred blisters. The skin of people seeking help
dangled from their fingernails. Their hair stood on end. Their clothes
were ripped to shreds. People trapped in houses toppled by the blast
were burned alive. Others died when their eyeballs and internal organs
burst from their bodies-Hiroshima was a hell where those who somehow
survived envied the dead.
Within the year, 140,000 had died. Many who escaped death initially
are still suffering from leukemia, thyroid cancer, and a vast array of
other afflictions.
But there was more. Sneered at for their keloid scars, discriminated
against in employment and marriage, unable to find understanding for
profound emotional wounds, survivors suffered and struggled day after
day, questioning the meaning of life.
And yet, the message born of that agony is a beam of light now shining
the way for the human family. To ensure that "no one else ever
suffers as we did," the hibakusha have continuously spoken of
experiences they would rather forget, and we must never forget their
accomplishments in preventing a third use of nuclear weapons.
Despite their best efforts, vast arsenals of nuclear weapons remain in
high states of readiness-deployed or easily available. Proliferation
is gaining momentum, and the human family still faces the peril of
extinction. This is because a handful of old-fashioned leaders,
clinging to an early 20th century worldview in thrall to the rule of
brute strength, are rejecting global democracy, turning their backs on
the reality of the atomic bombings and the message of the hibakusha.
However, here in the 21st century the time has come when these
problems can actually be solved through the power of the people.
Former colonies have become independent. Democratic governments have
taken root. Learning the lessons of history, people have created
international rules prohibiting attacks on non-combatants and the use
of inhumane weapons. They have worked hard to make the United Nations
an instrument for the resolution of international disputes. And now
city governments, entities that have always walked with and shared in
the tragedy and pain of their citizens, are rising up. In the light of
human wisdom, they are leveraging the voices of their citizens to lift
international politics.
Because "Cities suffer most from war," Mayors for Peace, with 1,698
city members around the world, is actively campaigning to eliminate
all nuclear weapons by 2020.
In Hiroshima, we are continuing our effort to communicate the A-bomb
experience by holding A-bomb exhibitions in 101 cities in the US and
facilitating establishment of Hiroshima-Nagasaki Peace Study Courses
in universities around the world. American mayors have taken the lead
in our Cities Are Not Targets project. Mayors in the Czech Republic
are opposing the deployment of a missile defense system. The mayor of
Guernica-Lumo is calling for a resurgence of morality in international
politics. The mayor of Ypres is providing an international secretariat
for Mayors for Peace, while other Belgian mayors are contributing
funds, and many more mayors around the world are working with their
citizens on pioneering initiatives. In October this year, at the World
Congress of United Cities and Local Governments, which represents the
majority of our planet's population, cities will express the will of
humanity as we call for the elimination of nuclear weapons.
The government of Japan, the world's only A-bombed nation, is
duty-bound to humbly learn the philosophy of the hibakusha along with
the facts of the atomic bombings and to spread this knowledge through
the world. At the same time, to abide by international law and fulfill
its good-faith obligation to press for nuclear weapons abolition, the
Japanese government should take pride in and protect, as is, the Peace
Constitution, while clearly saying "No," to obsolete and mistaken US
policies. We further demand, on behalf of the hibakusha whose average
age now exceeds 74, improved and appropriate assistance, to be
extended also to those living overseas or exposed in "black rain
areas."
Sixty-two years after the atomic bombing, we offer today our heartfelt
prayers for the peaceful repose of all its victims and of Iccho Itoh,
the mayor of Nagasaki shot down on his way toward nuclear weapons
abolition. Let us pledge here and now to take all actions required to
bequeath to future generations a nuclear-weapon-free world.
