U.S. Conference of Mayors Unanimously Adopts New Resolution “The Imperative of
Dialogue in a Time of Acute Nuclear Dangers”----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------At the close of its annual meeting in Kansas City, Missouri, on
June 23, the United States Conference of Mayors (USCM)
adopted a timely new resolution, titled, “The Imperative of
Dialogue in a Time of Acute Nuclear Dangers.” This is thenineteenth consecutive year that the USCM has adopted
resolutions submitted on behalf of U.S. members of Mayors for
Peace.
Reflecting the urgency of the current moment, the new USCM
resolution warns that, “the Russian war of aggression on
Ukraine, with its attendant nuclear threats, brings into sharp
focus the increasing risks of nuclear war by accident,
miscalculation, or crisis escalation that make disarmament thatmuch more urgent,” and adds that, “an intensifying array ofantagonisms among nuclear-armed governments is also
occurring in North-East Asia, the South China Sea, South Asia,and the Middle East.”(right to left) Resolution lead sponsor, Mayor Quentin
Hart of Waterloo, Iowa and co-sponsors: Mayor Elizabeth
Kautz of Burnsville, Minnesota; Mayor Matt Tuerk ofAllentown, Pennsylvania; and Mayor Martha Guerrero ofWest Sacramento, California(photo courtesy: Jackie Cabasso)

The resolution “condemns Russia’s illegal war of aggression on
Ukraine and its repeated nuclear threats and calls on the
Russian government to withdraw all forces from Ukraine,” andcalls on the U.S. President and Congress to “maximize
diplomatic efforts to end the war in Ukraine as soon as possible.”
The resolution welcomes [U.S.] National Security Advisor Jake
Sullivan’s June 2023 invitation “to engage Russia now tomanage nuclear risks and develop a post-2026 arms control
framework,” and “to engage China without preconditions—
helping ensure that competition is managed, and that competition
does not veer into conflict.”
Recognizing the essential role of cities, the USCM “calls on
member cities to take action at the municipal level to raise publicawareness of the growing dangers of wars among nuclear-armed
states, the humanitarian and financial impacts of nuclear
weapons, and the urgent need for good faith U.S. leadership in
negotiating the global elimination of nuclear weapons .” The
resolution’s lead sponsor, Mayor Quentin Hart of Waterloo,
Iowa, declared: “I am proud to stand shoulder to shoulder with
Mayors across the globe as a member of the Mayors for Peace
initiative that has led the way.”

30,000. Resolutions adopted at its annual meetings become USCM official policy.

from Sarajevo and Tasman [June 19-July 3, 2024]------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------The Mayors for Peace Secretariat annually invites young officials from member cities to Hiroshima as interns.
This internship program aims to strengthen collaboration with member cities by engaging them in the Mayors

the atomic bombings and sharing the city’s wish for peace, participants will be motivated to pursue initiatives
toward realizing lasting world peace in their home cities after completing the program.

Weapons (TPNW) at the earliest date. Additionally, Ms. Panfylova invited 32 kiwi member cities to join
the Children’s Art Competition “Peaceful Towns”, one of the Mayors for Peace initiatives in which her city
has been participating for the last three years, via email. Furthermore, they deepened their understanding of
the realities of the atomic bombing by visiting the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum and listening tohibakusha (atomic bomb survivor). They also visited Hiroshima Municipal Funairi High School and shared
their cities’ peace initiatives and thoughts for peace with the students.
Upon completion of the internship program, they made the following comments:
Mr. Harun Pašić / Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina“Mayors for Peace fascinated me, how determined they are to establish all-round ties ofcooperation with the world, all in building peace between nations and nuclear disarmament.”
Ms. Iuliia Panfylova / Tasman District, New Zealand“I'm deeply grateful for the opportunity to learn first-hand about the horrific event that happened 79
years ago on August 6. For all those children who died, for all those who survived I will bepromoting peace in the world through my work back home in New Zealand.”We look forward to seeing peace initiatives develop in their cities and countries based on what they learned during
their internship in Hiroshima.

The delegations from France, Catalonia, andBelgium of Mayors for Peace commemorate the80th anniversary of the massacre of Oradour-surGlane and participate in the 5th Conference ofCities of remembrance

Mayors for Peace Delegation

On June 10, 2024, the delegations from the French, Catalan, and Belgian sections of Mayors for Peace gathered
to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the massacre of Oradour-sur-Glane, which claimed the lives of 643
people. This solemn event was honored by the presence of the French and German presidents, as well as
delegations from foreign cities, French ministers, elected officials, institutional representatives, associations, andfamilies of the victims. This poignant moment served as a strong reminder of these tragic events and theimportance of preserving their memory.
As part of the commemorations, on June 11 at the Regional Council headquarters in Limoges, the Mayors for
Peace delegations participated in the 5th Conference of Cities of remembrance, initiated by Dunkirk in 2016.
The conference brought together members such as Bizerte, Bucha, Caen, Coventry, Gdansk, Guernica,
Hiroshima (via the Mayors for Peace France delegation), Hwaseong, Krefeld, Le Havre, Oradour-sur-Glane,
Ouistreham, Rostock, Saint-Nazaire, Saint Petersburg, Szczecin, Volgograd, and Ypres.
Discussions focused on: "Transmitting Memory: Why andHow to Remember," featuring a video testimony fromhibakusha Ms. Toshiko Tanaka, presented by Peace Boat;"Memorial Sites in Europe: Assessment and Perspectives";"Memory Tourism in the Digital Age: From Pilgrimage toConsumption"; the proclamation of the Cities ofremembrance manifesto; and the Youth Manifesto,
highlighted by the project "Youth Storming for Peace"
involving ten young participants from Bucha.
Before the video of Toshiko Tanaka, Fatiha Alaudat, Deputy
Municipal Councilor for Peace Culture in Malakoff andrepresentative of Mayors for Peace France, underscored thehistorical commitment of mayors from the two martyr cities
5th Conference of Cities of remembrance
to peace. She highlighted the crucial role of hibakusha as "thelast living witnesses of the atomic bombings on Hiroshima
and Nagasaki," emphasizing the strength and uniqueness of their testimonies that "powerfully express theinhumanity of these weapons of mass destruction, while delivering a message of hope and peace," aiming "toprevent humanity from reliving the terrible suffering caused by their use."
She stressed the need to integrate memory and peace culture into public policies: "listening to survivors,
preserving memorial sites, participating in commemorative events, developing educational programs, organizing
artistic, cultural, and sports events, sharing our ideas and experiences marks our commitment to a culture ofpeace locally and globally, to usher in a sustainable and peaceful world…"
She did not fail to connect with current events worldwide and in Europe: "In these times of reflection andcommemoration, it is impossible not to think of all those today still enduring the tragedy of war in Ukraine,
Yemen, Syria, or Palestine. The repeated threats of the use of nuclear weapon remind us of the importance andurgency of permanently banning these weapons of mass destruction, as demanded by hibakusha and the global
network of Mayors for Peace. Faced with violence, the rise of extremism, intolerance, isolationism, and hatred of
the other, it is imperative that we collectively act to prevent such situations and protect the fundamental rights ofeveryone."
Next year, the 6th Conference will be held in Dunkirk to continue this vital dialogue.

Philippe Rio, President of Mayors for Peace France, actively participated in the Cités Unies France
conference titled “The Diplomacy of Local Authorities Confronting Crises in the Middle East and Near
East”
The conference organized by Cités Unies France on June 26,
titled "The diplomacy of local authorities faced with thecrises engulfing the Middle East and Near East," underscoredthe pivotal role of decentralized cooperation in addressing
contemporary challenges. With nearly half a century ofexperience, Cités Unies France and its partners havesupported French local authorities in developing multilateral
strategies amidst diplomatic, political, and natural disasters.
Focusing on the Middle East and Near East, the conference
highlighted how local governments can facilitate dialogue
and solidarity amid entrenched conflicts such as those
Active Discussion at the Conference
between Israel and Palestine, Syria's civil war, and tensions
in Iraq, Iran, and Lebanon. By promoting cultural exchanges
and economic ties, local authorities aim to build trust and contribute to peace efforts, complementing national
and international initiatives in resolving regional crises.
Philippe Rio, Mayor of Grigny and President ofMayors for Peace France, played a crucial role
during the conference held at the Institut Nationaldes Langues et Civilisations Orientales (INALCO)in Paris. During Session 1, themed "Middle Eastand Near East, the territory of all crises: aninevitable chaos?" he contributed alongside Pascal
Boniface from the Institut des Relations
Internationales et stratégiques (IRIS). Philippe Rio
emphasized the engagement of French cities intwinning initiatives with Palestinian cities andMayor Rio addressed at the conference
refugee camps through various associations andnetworks, as well as the hosting of Palestinian
sports delegations during the Olympic Games in Paris despite challenging circumstances.
Facing the insecurities in the landscape of the Middle East, the issue of military nuclear capabilities isheightened by geopolitical tensions and regional rivalries. Israel's policy of "strategic ambiguity" concerning its
presumed nuclear arsenal, along with ongoing concerns over Iran's nuclear ambitions despite its commitment to
the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), underscores significant security threats regionally and globally.
The absence of a clear international consensus on nuclear disarmament perpetuates these risks, necessitating
urgent calls for Israel and Iran to sign and ratify the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons (TPNW) tomitigate conflict potential and foster a more secure and stable region.

Ms. Evelyn Kamissek, Mayor’s Office, International Unit, City of Hannover, Germany
Showing the flag for peace and a nuclear-free worldWars, climate change and a global threat to democracies: it is against this backdrop that the Mayors for Peace
Flag Day took place on July 8. This year, around 600 cities in Germany once again sent a clear signal against
wars and for a peaceful world without nuclear weapons by hoisting the Mayors for Peace flag in front of their
town halls.
According to the latest annual report from the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI), theglobal stockpile of nuclear warheads has fallen to an estimated 12,121. The number of warheads kept on highalert has risen to around 2,100. Nine countries have nuclear weapons, with the USA and Russia possessing mostof the acutely operational weapons. China is rapidly expanding its nuclear arsenal. SIPRI sees efforts tomodernize stocks in all nuclear-armed states.
In addition, the ongoing Russian war of aggression against Ukraine is accompanied by Russia's withdrawal frominternational treaties, such as the New START Treaty, which was extended for five years in 2021 and regulates
the limitation of strategic nuclear weapons between the USA and Russia, as well as the CTBT (Comprehensive
Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty).

Mayor Onay:"We are celebrating our Flag Day again this year
under challenging conditions. For Mayors for
Peace, advocating nuclear disarmament and thepeaceful coexistence of all people remains thecommon goal. We therefore expect the two major
nuclear powers, the USA and Russia, to declaretheir willingness to negotiate a successor agreement
to the New START treaty. One thing is also clear:
nuclear weapons tests must remain a taboo!"
We are particularly pleased to receive a video
message from the President of Mayors for Peace,

https://www.mayorsforpeace.org/en/visions/initiatives/edu-examples/--------------------------------------------------------------------------------Peace-related news from Hiroshima(provided by the Chugoku Shimbun Hiroshima Peace Media Center)--------------------------------------------------------------------------------Running east and west for a distance of four kilometers through the central part of Hiroshima City andmeasuring 100 meters in width, Peace Memorial Boulevard is commonly known as “100-meter road.” Theboulevard began in an open area where during the war many people, from junior high school students to adults,
had been mobilized to demolish houses to create open spaces for fire lanes in preparation for air raids. On
August 6, 1945, many citizens who had been sent to work at that location were killed in the atomic bombing.
Following the war, the road went through a number of twists and turns, and it was not until 1965 that it wascompleted in its entirety, from Tsurumi Bridge at the east end to the Koi area in the west. In the period 1957–
1958, the Hiroshima City government carried out what was called a “tree-planting campaign,” leading to trees
donated by local governments in Hiroshima Prefecture being planted along the street. And, with other forms of
support from Japan and overseas, the greenbelt along the street flourished.
Over the past year, however, three trees have toppled over in the area along Peace Boulevard. According to thecity government, the tree that fell in June was a honey locust grown from a seed that had been donated to the cityby Eva Peron, wife of the president of Argentina at the time. The seed reportedly reached Hiroshima in 1953, a
year after Ms. Peron’s death.

The highest priority should be placed on ensuring the safety of people passing by on the street. At the same time,
however, we should remember that many of the trees standing silently along Peace Boulevard are imbued withwishes for peace and for the city’s recovery from amid the incinerated ruins after the atomic bombing.
