Nagasaki, atomic bomb anniversary, concern over US-China cold war
In a message marking the anniversary of the first atomic bombs (6-9 August), Archbishop Takami, president of the Catholic Bishops' Conference of Japan, lists today's most serious threats to peace. These range from human rights violations in Myanmar and Afghanistan to disparities between rich and poor countries in the fight against COVID-19. He also renews his appeal to the Japanese government to ratify the UN Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons.
