The Japan Institute of International Affairs (JIIA) was commissioned to conduct the “Hiroshima Report Project,” one of the initiatives to materialize the “Hiroshima for Global Peace” Plan, and the results were compiled into the Hiroshima Report 2024.

 

HOPe and Hiroshima Prefecture hope 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.
