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.
Co-chairs: Cliff Kupchan (USA), Arnold Luethold (Switzerland), and Peter Jones (Canada)

Discussion in this working group was arranged around five main country-specific themes, namely Iran, Egypt, Israel-Palestine, Libya and Tunisia, with a focus on the implications of these cases for the region’s peace and stability.
