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.
Pugwash Council member Professor Happymon Jacob speaks about how Pugwash works to promote greater understanding and stability in South Asia.
“It is very clear that, given the kind of work that Pugwash has been doing over the last 10 years, it has made an impact, certainly within Kashmir and in the media in Pakistan and India”
