The United Nations
The UN Secretary-General called for nuclear disarmament on Tuesday as the world marked 79 years since the bombing of Hiroshima, promising that the UN will "spare no effort to ensure the horrors of that day are never repeated."
On 6 August 1945, the United States dropped a bomb dubbed 'Little Boy', on the Japanese city of Hiroshima, as World War Two continued. The bombing resulted in immense devastation which killed and injured tens of thousands of people.
The Secretary-General insisted that the threat of the use of nuclear weapons is not just "confined to history books" but a "real and present danger" today - once again looming large "in the daily rhetoric of international relations."
