IN NAGASAKI MESSAGE, BAN STRESSES NEED FOR EDUCATION ON BENEFITS OF
NUCLEAR DISARMAMENTNew York, Aug 9 2013 12:00PMIn his message to a
ceremony marking the 68th anniversary of the atomic bombing of the
Japanese city of Nagasaki, Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon stressed that
the benefits of nuclear disarmament must be spread worldwide through
education.

"We must eliminate all nuclear weapons in order to eliminate the grave
risk they pose to our world. This will require persistent efforts by
all countries and peoples," Mr. Ban said in his
<"http://www.un.org/sg/statements/index.asp?nid=7007">message to the
Nagasaki Peace Memorial Ceremony.

"We may take a lead from the scholars and researchers at Nagasaki
University who have studied this issue, and strengthen disarmament and
non-proliferation education worldwide so a younger generation of
emerging leaders, voters, and taxpayers can understand the vital need
for policies to advance disarmament goals."

More than 400,000 people died as a result of the attacks on Hiroshima
on 6 August, 1945, and Nagasaki, which occurred three days later. The
ceremony honoured those who died in the attack as well as the
survivors, known as hibakusha, and their families.

Mr. Ban said he was "enormously impressed" by the hibakusha's efforts
to educate the world about the full humanitarian consequences of the
use of nuclear weapons, and called on civil society groups around the
world to help inform the general public about the benefits of
disarmament and the terrible risks of failing to achieve it.

"I especially appeal to the States currently possessing nuclear
weapons, particularly those with the largest nuclear arsenals, to
agree on deep and verified reductions, stop developing new or
modernized weapons, and accelerate their individual and collective
efforts to achieve a world free of nuclear weapons," Mr. Ban said.

The Secretary-General also reiterated the UN's commitment to nuclear
disarmament, noting it is one of the greatest legacies that can be
passed on to future generations.Aug 9 2013 12:00PM
