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.

The working group discussed disarmament under four themes, namely general disarmament, challenges to the NPT, a Middle East WMD Free Zone, and other regional nuclear weapons free zones. The report seeks to capture the most salient points raised during the discussion.
