Introduction

The Center for the Promotion of Disarmament and Non-Proliferation (CPDNP), Japan Institute of International Affairs (JIIA) is commissioned a research project on Evaluating Performances of Selected Countries in the Field of Nuclear Disarmament, Non-Proliferation and Nuclear Security by the Hiroshima Prefecture. The Result of the FY2012 project was published as the Hiroshima Report--Evaluation of Achievement in Nuclear Disarmament, Non-Proliferation and Nuclear Security: 2010-2012.

In FY2013, the CPDNP has launched this blog aiming to provoke discussions on nuclear issues and to get feedbacks for preparing Hiroshima Report 2013. In this blog, experts on nuclear issues will discuss, inter alia, the findings of the Hiroshima Report, on which issues or areas  the international community should make further efforts towards a world without nuclear weapons. The staff of this project will be posting an initial draft of Hiroshima Report 2013. Your comments and feedbacks are welcome!
