| 『Introduction』The A-bomb Dome, a mute, historical witness to
the horror of humankind's first atomic
bombing,
is a global legacy of great historical
value.We intend to publicize throughout Japan
and
the world the fact that the Dome has
been
designated a World Heritage site, emphasizing
its importance as a symbol of the drive
to
abolish nuclear weapons and the common
pledge
of the human race to seek lasting world
peace.
In this connection, mid- to long -range
city
planning calls for careful development
in
the area around the A-bomb Dome and
Peace
Memorial Park to assure an environment
that
befits a World Heritage Site.』 |
