In the 2nd Special Session

New York on June 24, 1982, mayors of Hiroshima and Nagasaki appealed
to city mayors of all nations to cut out a way toward solidarity
between world cities reaching beyond national borders, and abolish
nuclear weapons, thus setting up the Conference of Mayors for Peace. |
