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 7-8 June a Pugwash delegation visited the West Bank for consultations regarding the future of Palestine and current policy options. The exercise was organized with the intent of better understanding the priorities of Palestinian political leaders and experts and included meetings with senior political figures in Ramallah, as well as visits to Hebron and some other sites in the West Bank.
