1st General Assembly

 
Topic 1: The question for a renewed determination towards the total elimination of nuclear weapons.
Director: James Flick

They were created in the final stages of World War Two by a coalition of Allied scientists in the United States and were first used in Hiroshima and Nagasaki to end World War Two in the Pacific theatre.
