Open Letter to call on all UN Member States to actively participate in the Open-Ended Working Group (OEWG)
|
The establishment of a public working group to discuss legal measures for the abolition of nuclear weapons was decided in a resolution at the United Nations General Assembly last year, and Mayors for Peace (President: Hiroshima Mayor Kazumi Matsui) sent an open letter jointly from the 26 Mayors for Peace executive cities to all UN member nations prior to the organizational meeting for the working group held in Geneva, Switzerland, on January 18, 2016.
The open letter called for proactive participation and constructive discussion on the abolition of nuclear weapons at the working group.
At the same time, the open letter was also sent to the United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon, requesting support for Mayors for Peace activities, and broad-based communication of the letter's message to all national governments and peoples.
【Open letter】 The letter can be viewed on the Mayors for Peace home page>>.
