About Us

Created in 2003 as UNITAR’s regional office for Asia and the Pacific, Hiroshima has focused in post-conflict reconstruction as well as in international peace and human security. It delivers UNITAR’s expertise in various areas upon request and based on local needs, and so far has trained more than 4,400 beneficiaries.

Public Sessions

For the benefit of the Hiroshima community, we periodically invite leading academics, diplomats, politicians and business people to give informal talks on pertinent topics. To date, these interactive sessions have been attended by over 3,000 people. UNITAR invites all citizens of Hiroshima to join us in these unique events.

Hiroshima Lectures

UNITAR is often invited to present to various organisations and entities within Hiroshima and Japan as a whole, on the work of the Institute and that of the United Nations Organisation. These opportunities are a large part of UNITARs community outreach initiatives to benefit the communities that host our offices.
