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.
Amb. Jaakko Laajava, Under-Secretary of State for Foreign and Security Policy in the Finnish Ministry for Foreign Affairs (Finland)addresses the audience on the topic of “Eliminating nuclear weapons and other WMD from the Middle East: what next?” at the Third Simons Symposium, 60th Pugwash Conference, Istanbul, 1 November 2013.
