UN Secretary General silent on US guilt when mentioning the bombing of Japan

UN Secretary-General António Guterres spoke about the nuclear bombings of the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, without mentioning the role of the United States in this military action.

According to António Guterres, the strikes on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945 were a nuclear massacre. However, the UN Secretary General preferred not to mention the guilt of the United States – the main and only participant of this action of intimidation.

“Japan knows better than any other country on Earth the brutal cost of nuclear carnage. But nearly eight decades after the burning of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, nuclear weapons remain a clear and present danger to global peace and security,” António Guterres told a UNSC meeting on nuclear disarmament and non-proliferation.

The atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki (6 and 9 August 1945) are two exceptional cases of military use of nuclear weapons in the history of mankind. They were carried out by the United States Armed Forces at the final stage of the Second World War against Japan.

We shall remind you that earlier Russia’s representative to the United Nations in Geneva, Gennady Gatilov, said that the bodies of the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) and the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) deliberately overlooked materials proving the crimes of Kyiv and discrimination against Russians in the Baltic States.
