「核抑止から核軍縮へ」　広島県知事と専門家ら議論―ＮＹ

　【ニューヨーク時事】米ニューヨークの国連本部で２日、開催中の核拡散防止条約（ＮＰＴ）再検討会議に合わせ、広島県の湯崎英彦知事や専門家らが核抑止政策を踏まえ、核軍縮を推進させる方法を話し合う会合が開かれた。知事は冒頭「ＮＰＴ体制下での核兵器廃絶に向け、今こそ核軍縮、不拡散への取り組みを強化すべきだ」と訴えた。
　ロシアのウクライナ侵攻で軍縮が困難となる中、広島県などが主催した今回の会合は「核抑止から核軍縮へ」がテーマ。スウェーデンのストックホルム国際平和研究所（ＳＩＰＲＩ）のティティ・エラスト上級研究員が執筆した「最低限の核抑止力」に関するリポートに基づき、核政策の専門家らが課題などについて意見を交わした。（2022/08/03-07:38）

Hidehiko Yuzaki, governor of the western Japan prefecture of Hiroshima, held discussions Tuesday with experts and others on ways to promote nuclear disarmament based on nuclear deterrent policies.
   The event took place at the U.N. headquarters in New York on the sidelines of the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty review conference that kicked off on Monday.
   "The time is now to multiply efforts toward nuclear disarmament and nonproliferation to eliminate nuclear weapons under the NPT regime," Yuzaki said at Tuesday's event.
   Hiroshima was devastated in a U.S. atomic bombing toward the end of World War II in 1945.
   The event was held during difficult times for nuclear disarmament amid Russia's invasion of Ukraine. The Hiroshima prefectural government and an affiliated organization hosted the event, whose theme was "From Deterrence to Disarmament."
