The 25th United Nations Conference on Disarmament Issues held in Hiroshima, Japan, coincided with two other anniversaries – the 70th anniversary of the founding of the United Nations, and the 70th anniversary of the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. This triple anniversary, and the Conference’s reputation as an important forum for frank dialogue on pressing security and disarmament issues, drew participants of 23 countries, including many high-level officials, as well as from intergovernmental organizations, academia and civil society. Video messages by the UN Secretary-General and the UN Messenger for Peace Michael Douglas, commending the Conference, were screened for the audience.
