| 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. |
