of the morning of august 6, 1945, must never fade. that memory allows us to fight complacency. it fuels our moral imagination. it allows us to change. so right from the beginning the international committee of the red cross and the red cross and red crescent movement said, "use of nuclear weapons is contrary to rules protecting civilians from the effects of warfare." we knew that in 1945 because we had an observer in hiroshima who reported to us immediately, "it's unbelievable what i am witnessing. "it cannot be envisaged how use of nuclear weapons could be compatible with the rules of international humanitarian law." do nuclear weapons serve a role in the modern world? most will say they don't. they make us more insecure. they don't help in any security whatsoever. why are they still wedded to these weapons? and that is the big question. narrator: in january of 1946, representatives from around the world gathered for the first session of the newly formed united nations general assembly. it was just 6 months after the bombings of hiroshima and nagasaki. the representatives, after deliberations, adopted their first-ever resolution, which included a call for the elimination from national a

international outrage ensued. russia's participation in the 2016 summer games put into jeopardy. the president of the international olympic committee, or ioc, called the alleged scheme an unimaginable level of criminality. the world anti-doping association, or wada, would back up rodchenkov's claims about the sochi doping plan in a july 2016 report. ultimately, though, only the russian track and field team would be blocked from competing in rio. putin has continued to deny the allegations. >> i doubt that he ordered the actual doping to happen but that he made clear that he wanted the athletes to win at any cost. >> reporter: u.s. intelligence agencies say the exposure of the doping scandal was one of russia's motivations for interfering in the 2016 presidential election. >> given your perspective on russia now, having been through what you've been through, what would you say to those who doubt all of this? >> watch this film. and then tell me or tell the world that you doubt what russia is capable of. it's that clear and simple. >> reporter: for "nightline" i'm dan harris in new york. >> "icarus" is currently available worldwide o
