被爆者団体「署名、批准を」 核禁止条約、菅首相に要望―広島

 広島の被爆者7団体は6日、広島市内のホテルで首相と面会した。広島県原爆被害者団体協議会(県被団協)の箕牧智之理事長代行は、1月に発効した核兵器禁止条約に触れ、「署名、批准することこそが、核保有国と非保有国との橋渡しへの近道だ」と訴えた。
 首相は「核廃絶を実現するためには、核兵器を保有する国を巻き込んで核軍縮を進めていくことが不可欠」と強調。「核拡散防止条約(NPT)運用検討会議において、立場の異なる国々の橋渡しに努め、核軍縮の進展に向けた国際的な議論に積極的に貢献していきたい」と述べた。同席した外務政務官は「条約に署名する考えはない」とした。(2021/08/06-14:22)

Hibakusha Urge Japan to Sign, Ratify U.N. Nuclear Ban Treaty


Hibakusha atomic bomb survivors in Japan urged Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga on Friday to sign and ratify the U.N. Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons, which came into effect in January.
   Representatives from seven hibakusha organizations in the western Japan prefecture of Hiroshima met with Suga at a hotel in the city of Hiroshima on Friday, which marked the 76th anniversary of the 1945 U.S. atomic bombing on the city.
   Japan "signing and ratifying (the treaty) is the shortest way to build a bridge between nuclear powers and nonnuclear powers," Toshiyuki Mimaki, 78, acting head of a hibakusha group, said.
   Suga said, "It is important that we get nuclear weapon states involved in nuclear disarmament, in order to abolish such weapons."
   He added that Japan will work as a bridge between countries with different views at review conferences of the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, or NPT, and contribute actively to international talks to advance further nuclear disarmament.
