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.
On 6 February 2015, Pugwash President Jayantha Dhanapala and Pugwash Council Member Sergio Duarte released a statement, “Nuclear Weapons Treaty at a Crossroads.” Drawing upon their expertise as presidents of prior NPT Review Conferences, and key thinkers in the field, Dhanapala and Duarte urge concrete action to ensure a successful outcome for the 2015 NPT Review Conference.
