The nuclear weapons used against Hiroshima and Nagasaki represent humanity's darkest moment and must never be repeated, as emphasized by survivors whose testimony serves as a moral force for peace. The growing global acceptance of nuclear deterrence today flagrantly disregards the lessons learned from these tragedies and threatens international peace frameworks.
