UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres warned on Monday of the clear and present danger of nuclear weapons.
" Nuclear weapons and the threat of their use are not confined to the history books. They have once again appeared in the everyday rhetoric of international relations, " Guterres said in a message to mark the 79th anniversary of the US atomic bombing of the Japanese city of Hiroshima.
" They represent a real and present danger that remains with us today ," he added.
The bombing of Hiroshima on August 6, 1945 during World War II left an estimated 140,000 people dead by the end of the year, while an atomic bomb dropped on the city of Nagasaki three days later killed an estimated 74,000 people.
"The lessons of Hiroshima, which once guided our collective efforts toward disarmament and peace, have been cast aside. While some are recklessly striking the nuclear saber once again, the UN is trying to keep the lessons of 1945 alive ," Guterres said.
He called on the world to stand together to condemn "this unacceptable behavior" and to find new solutions to bring about disarmament.
" We will never forget the lessons of August 6, 1945. No more Hiroshima. No more Nagasaki ," he added.
