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 is pleased to announce that the 63rd Pugwash International Conference will take place from 1-5 March 2020 kindly hosted by the Government of the State of Qatar in Doha.
In preparation, Pugwash Secretary General Paolo Cotta Ramusino and Senior Program Coordinator Claudia Vaughn visited Doha, Qatar, for organizational meetings in July 2019, including meeting with the General-Secretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Dr. Ahmad Hassen Al-Hammadi.
