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.
In mid-August 2011, the Pugwash Conferences on Science and World Affairs organized few meetings with some selected representatives from various Islamic movements. These meetings build upon and tie into recent and planned Pugwash activities in the region.
Rapporteur: Paolo Cotta-Ramusino
