Sixty-four years ago, atom bombs rained down on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

Upon seeing such horror and devastation, people throughout the world thought such carnage must never happen again.
听
But thousands of nuclear weapons remain in global arsenals. The risk of nuclear terrorism is real.
听
Yet we are also seeing bold steps to limit and eliminate these weapons.
听
The United Nations wants to build on this momentum.
听
I have a vision of a world free of nuclear weapons.
听
And I have a campaign, called WMD -- We Must Disarm.
听
We must disarm to save lives.
听
We must disarm so that we can redirect precious resources to health, education and development.
听
This year, the International Day of 国产AV, on 21 September, is dedicated to this cause.
听
Between now and then, please join our campaign on Facebook, MySpace, Twitter and the UN's WMD-We Must Disarm website.
听
Let your voices be heard. Let us convince leaders, once and for all, of the waste, futility and dangers posed by weapons of mass destruction.
听
In the face of this catastrophic threat, our message is clear: Together, we must disarm!
听
Thank you.
