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.

This section is provided as a resource. It includes links (and English translations) for the many prominent letters from former senior leaders that have appeared in leading newspapers around the world. In many cases, Pugwashites have helped to quietly facilitate these statements and are working to ensure that the visions expressed are backed up by concrete steps toward nuclear disarmament.
