Hiroshima Report 2018New Publication: Hiroshima Report 2018

On April 9, 2018 Hiroshima Prefecture announced the latest publication of the Hiroshima Report. The Hiroshima Report 2018 studies, analyzes and evaluates 36 countries’ performance on nuclear disarmament, non-proliferation, and nuclear security in 2017.

The Hiroshima Report is the 2019 edition, preceded by the  Hiroshima Report 2013 , Hiroshima Report 2014, Hiroshima Report 2015, Hiroshima Report 2016, Hiroshima Report 2017

 

The Hiroshima Report 2018 lays out challenges for nuclear-weapon-states to work on nuclear disarmament, and introduces efforts made by non-nuclear-weapon states.

In announcing the publication, Governor Hidehiko Yuzaki said that he hopes to make the Hiroshima Report more widely known in the world in order to bolster the worldwide momentum for the abolition of nuclear weapons and motivate each country to take new measures for nuclear disarmament, non-proliferation and nuclear security.

Hiroshima Prefecture, the locality that recovered from the destruction caused by the first dropping of an atomic bomb, will continue its various initiatives toward a world free from nuclear weapons.
