The Centre for Peace Studies is proud to announce a guest lecture with Dr. Tadatoshi Akiba, Mayor of Hiroshima (Japan). As president for "Mayors for Peace", Dr. Tadatoshi Akiba is an official guest of Tromsø municipality. Tromsø is member of "Mayors for Peace".

On June 24, 1982, at the 2nd UN Special Session on Disarmament held at UN Headquarters in New York, then Mayor Takeshi Araki of Hiroshima proposed a new Program to Promote the Solidarity of Cities toward the Total Abolition of Nuclear Weapons.

The Mayors for Peace is composed of cities around the world that have formally expressed support for the program Mayor Araki announced in 1982. As of August 28, 2006, membership stood at 1,416 cities in 120 countries and regions.
