The head of a nongovernmental organization pursuing nuclear abolition believes the reference to the suffering of victims of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki will remain in the final text of an envisaged treaty outlawing nuclear weapons.
"I don't see anyone who would object to this mention. I expect it will be included in the final treaty," Beatrice Fihn, executive director of the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons, said in a recent interview with Kyodo News.
She made the remarks ahead of the second round of negotiations to ban nuclear arms, to be held at the U.N. headquarters in New York from Thursday through July 7.
