[Add your name and join with them today to ensure nuclear weapons never harm anybody else again. >>]( [ADD YOUR NAME]( The Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons entered into force on January 22, 2021, and was celebrated by survivors in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. But the Japanese government has stated that it will not sign the treaty. The decision of the only country attacked with atomic bombs in a war is embarrassing and unacceptable. Today, many citizens in the world, even in countries possessing nuclear weapons, understand nuclear weapons as inhumane and unnecessary. In fact, the use of nuclear weapons is banned under international law. Now is the time for the government of Japan to lead the world from prohibition toward the elimination of nuclear weapons.
