Peace Issues Discussion Group - Heiwa Mondai Danwakai

Japanese: 平和問題談話会 - へいわもんだいだんわかい

After World War II, when the international situation once again became tense, an appeal for peace by UNESCO social scientists was published in July 1948. Inspired by this, on December 12 of that year, more than 50 people, including Abe Yoshinari, Nishina Yoshio, and Ouchi Hyoe, gathered at the Meiji Memorial Hall in Aoyama, Tokyo, and issued the "Statement by Japanese Scientists on War and Peace." The scholars who signed this document then organized the Tokyo Peace Issues Discussion Group and the Kyoto Peace Issues Discussion Group in the east and west respectively in early 1949. On December 21 of the same year, they held a general meeting at the Industrial Club in Marunouchi, Tokyo, and invited Yokota Kisaburo and Irie Keishiro to discuss the matter. They compiled a "Statement on the Peace Issue," which was published on January 15, 1950, calling for the realization of a complete peace.
