Nagasaki has issued a historic peace declaration stating itself as the last eyepoint of nuclear devastation. This assertion, emanating from the second and final city in history to face an atomic bombing, carries a profound symbolic resonance. By describing itself as the final site of such destruction, Nagasaki is reaffirming its commitment to an international agenda of nuclear disarmament. The city is inviting the world to learn from its historical tragedy, promoting global unity and peace.

Given its historical experiences with Hiroshima and Nagasaki, nuclear disarmament is a pressing topic for Japan and is commonly deliberated. The peace declarations from Japanese cities that have suffered the atomic bombings are seen as having a moral significant. They remind Japanese citizens, and the world, of the horrifying consequences of nuclear warfare and encourage international cooperation for peace and nuclear disarmament.

In the U.S. and EU, disarmament topics are also of great concern, especially considering their status as nuclear powers. The discourse around these issues is often more politically driven, focusing on diplomatic negotiations and arms control treaties. However, there isn't an equivalent to the peace declarations that cities like Nagasaki issue, bringing a unique perspective of victim cities to the global discourse on nuclear disarmament.
