Commemorating the Hiroshima-Nagasaki bombings and a call for nuclear disarmament 

Abolition will never happen in a strategic vacuum. The elimination of nuclear weapons will require a durable security framework based upon the principles of common security and sustainable peace.

The U.S. detonated two nuclear bombs over Hiroshima and Nagasaki in Japan on Aug. 6 and 9, 1945, respectively, killing between 129,000 and 226,000 people. We must collectively push our governments forward to take action, write Robin Collins, Sylvie Lemieux, and Erika Simpson. Photographs courtesy of Commons Wikipedia
