■Outline:
In conjunction with the Nihon Hidankyo (the Japan Confederation of A- and H-Bomb Sufferers Organizations)’s Nobel Peace Prize win, the Nobel Peace Center in Oslo, Norway, is currently holding an exhibition introducing the stories and works of Nihon Hidankyo and displaying related photographs and other archives. Such archives have played a significant role in recording and conveying the damage caused by the atomic bombings, as well as the A-bomb survivors’ testimonies. As the A-bomb survivors age and their numbers shrink, less of them can directly talk about their experiences year by year, resulting in these archives becoming even more important.
On the 80th commemoration of the atomic bombings, this year’s symposium will introduce the efforts that have been made up to now to preserve these archives, including those of the Nihon Hidankyo. It will also consider how to preserve this collection of archives for posterity.

Taylor & Francis, the publisher of Journal for Peace and Nuclear Disarmament (J-PAND), carried an article about Michiru Nishida, a Professor at the School of Global Humanities and Social Sciences of Nagasaki University and at RECNA. In the article, Nishida discusses the complexities of Japan’s nuclear policy, building on his J-PAND research paper, titled “Logic (or Illogic?) of Japan’s Aversion to TPNW and Charting a Path Forward.”
