Pugwash seeks a world free of nuclear weapons and other weapons of mass destruction. Through our long-standing tradition of ‘dialogue across divides’ that also earned us the Nobel Peace Prize in 1995, Pugwash aims to develop and support the use of scientific, evidence-based policymaking, focusing on areas where nuclear and WMD risks are present. By facilitating track 1.5 and track II dialogues, we foster creative discussions on ways to increase the security of all sides and promote policy development that is cooperative and forward-looking.
On 20-21 November 2009 Pugwash co-sponsored a workshop on “Strengthening the International Non-Nuclear Non-Proliferation Regime: Promoting a Successful NPT Review Conference in 2010”. This workshop usefully was able to engage with Chinese perspectives on a host of issues relating to the NPT process.
