TOKYO - Japan’s House of Councillors unanimously adopted a resolution in a plenary session Wednesday recommending the government strengthen itsefforts toward eliminating nuclear arms in the world. This follows the previous day’s endorsement of a similar resolution on the part of theHouse of Representatives. Parliamentary endorsement of these resolutions was prompted by U.S. President Barack Obama’s call in April for a nuclear-free world and then by North Korea’s nuclear test May 25. The upper house resolution says Japan, as the only country attacked with atomic bombs, has spearheaded an antinuclear movement and ‘‘has the responsibility tofurther step up the campaign.’’
