Dialogue with United Nations Foundation Board Members

 "Message of Hiroshima for Today’s World"

Organizers: UN Foundation, Hiroshima University and

UNITAR Hiroshima Office for Asia and the Pacific

The United Nations (UN) Foundation Board visited Hiroshima on Saturday 28 October 2006.  In this context, the UN Foundation, Hiroshima University and the United Nations Institute for Training and Research (UNITAR) Hiroshima Office, in close partnership with the Japan Center for International Exchange (JCIE), organized a roundtable on the theme of "The message of Hiroshima for today's world" at the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum. 

During this roundtable,  panelists and guests reflected upon the lessons and experiences of Hiroshima and their practical and symbolic significance for the United Nations and the world, especially in these times of rising nuclear and other security threats. The roundtable, which also marked UN Day, started an exchange of ideas between the UN Foundation Board members and representatives of Hiroshima’s scientific, academic, political, media and other governmental and non-governmental sectors.

The UN Foundation is a public charity that builds and implements public-private partnerships in support of the UN’s efforts to address the most pressing humanitarian, socioeconomic, and environmental challenges facing the world today (for more information, please visit the UN Foundation website at http://www.unfoundation.org)
