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.
A meeting was convened on the issue of Afghan reconciliation in Dubai on 15-17 January 2013 as a sequel to the meeting convened in Dubai on 21-23 September 2012.
“Talks and negotiations should be comprehensive. No political party or group should feel to be left out. The specific interests of all different groups should be respected, provided that the goal is to have a unified and peaceful Afghanistan.”
