Today marks the 76th anniversary of the very first @UN General Assembly resolution, Res 1 (I), adopted following the 1945 Hiroshima & Nagasaki atomic bombings, on the elimination of atomic weapons and all other major weapons adaptable to mass destruction. (1/4)👇
On this occasion, see @UNIC_Tokyo’s video story about @Anju_niwata, a university student from Hiroshima, who uses AI technology to colorize black & white photographs to reboot and keep alive memories of the Hibakusha, the atomic bomb survivors👉 bit.ly/3G0CD1g.(2/4)
Anju’s “Rebooting Memories" project is one of many examples of #youth empowerment through #education, allowing young people to play a key role towards #disarmament, peace and development, which is the spirit with which we also mark the International Day of Education today. (3/4)
In the video story, High Representative @INakamitsu highlights the role of the @UN in achieving a world free of nuclear weapons and the role of youth in disarmament efforts, like through participation in @UN_Disarmament’s #Youth4Disarmament initiative. (4/4)
