Extractions: Pugwash Conferences on Science and World Affairs The international Pugwash Conferences take their name from the small fishing village of Pugwash, Nova Scotia, where the first Pugwash meeting involving eminent scientists from East and West was held in 1957 to address the threats of nuclear war. Since 1957, the Pugwash organisation has contributed significantly in laying the groundwork for a number of nuclear arms control treaties, including the 1963 Partial Test Ban Treaty, the 1968 Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, the 1972 Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty, and the 1972 Biological Weapons Convention. In its 39-year history, the Pugwash organisation has sponsored more than 200 conferences and workshops on a wide variety of international security issues, including nuclear weapons, chemical and biological warfare, the global trade in conventional weapons, and ethnic and regional conflict. Formal governance of the organisation is by a 25-member Council elected at the quinquennial conferences held every five years since 1962. The current international Pugwash officers are Professor Joseph Rotblat (UK, President and Founder of Pugwash), Professor Francesco Calogero (Italy, Secretary-General), Professor John Holdren (USA, Chair of the Executive Committee), and Professor Maciej Nalecz (Poland, Chair of the Council). The operation costs of the Pugwash Movement are met by a combination of donated services, contributions from individuals and foundations, and assessments levied on the national Pugwash Groups. No honoraria or other fees are paid to participants in Pugwash meetings.

Extractions: by Robert Sanders John Holdren, vice chair of the Energy and Resources Group at Berkeley and Class of 1935 Professor of Energy, delivered one of two acceptance lectures for the Nobel Peace Prize at the Dec. 10 ceremony in Oslo, Norway. The 1995 Peace Prize was split between the founder of the Pugwash Conferences on Science and World Affairs, physicist Joseph Rotblat, and the organization itself. Rotblat delivered one lecture, while Holdren, who has chaired the executive committee of the Pugwash organization since 1987, delivered a second. The Pugwash organization dates back to the late 1950s when scientists responded to a "manifesto" issued by Bertrand Russell and Albert Einstein to "assemble in conference to appraise the perils that have arisen as a result of the development of weapons of mass destruction." From that beginning evolved a continuing series of meetings at locations all over the world. To date, there have been more than 200 Pugwash conferences, symposia and workshops with a total attendance of more than 10,000. The Nobel Committee announced its decision on Oct. 13, applauding Pugwash for its work and highlighting the need for world leaders to intensify their efforts to rid the world of nuclear weapons.

Extractions: BACK TO MAIN ONLINE BOOKSTORE HOW TO ORDER THIRD WORLD NETWORK INFORMATION SERVICE ON BIOSAFETY 12 July 2002 Dear friends and colleagues, We have the pleasure of sharing with you the statement issued by the Pugwash Workshop on the Impact of Agricultural Biotechnology on Environmental and Food Security held in Mexico in May. The workshop, which brought together experts from around the world, is part of the effort of the 45-year old Pugwash Conferences on Science and World Affairs to discuss the social and policy ramifications of important scientific discoveries in our present world and to give direction on the issues discussed. The Mexico workshop recognizes the fact that research into modern biotechnologies has sparked intense debates on the impact of applying transgenic technologies to agricultural production and raised questions as to the long-term effect of genetically modified organisms (GMOs). From the discussions, the participants concluded that due to the lack of knowledge on the benefits and risks of GMOs, there is a need for independent research, to analyse, monitor and evaluate the environmental, economical, health and socio-cultural aspects of biotechnology.

Extractions: SYLVAIN COMEAU "Science is largely responsible for the benefits to mankind in this century, but also for much of the dangers we face. Because of nuclear warheads, the future of the human race cannot be guaranteed. Our species is now an endangered species." He reminded a generation that has seen the passing of the cold war that humanity has, in the past, come within a hair of nuclear war. "On several occasions, we came close to the actual use (of nuclear missiles). I'll never forget one of them, the Cuban missile crisis, in which the human race's fate depended on the decisions of one man. Thankfully, (Soviet president) Khrushchev was a sane man. We might not be so lucky the next time." Rotblat is a co-founder and former president of the Pugwash Conferences on Science and World Affairs. Pugwash conferences are held annually to examine the dangers of armed conflict. Scientists are asked to examine the ethical issues raised by their work. Pugwash conferences have been credited with inspiring, among other initiatives, the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty of 1968, the Biological Weapons Treaty of 1972 and the Chemical Weapons Convention of 1993.

Extractions: Budapest (Hungary), June 28 (No.99-142) - A population of some 2,000 science movers and shakers - Nobel laureates, researchers from all the continents and policy makers, notably more than 90 government ministers in charge of science - has assembled in Budapest, turning the city into the world science capital on the occasion of the "World Conference on Science: Science for the 21st Century - a new commitment" (June 26 - July 1). Science players from over 150 countries in Budapest are seeking to define the future course of science and scientific research. They are tackling issues such as: the private and public sectors' respective roles in science funding, maintaining knowledge-sharing while respecting intellectual property rights, the ethical obligations of the scientist to society. While Europe and North America form the largest geographical group of participants, reflecting the unequal distribution of science resources between North and South, all regions of the world are represented and participants include some of the most distinguished names in the various science disciplines, among them Nobel Prize laureates and leading researchers. They include: From Africa, Mali-born astrophysicist Cheick Diarra, one of the leading researchers in the NASA's Pathfinder mission to Mars. Mr Diarra, who is also UNESCO Goodwill Ambassador for Science and Technology, is advocating the pooling of resources in South-South and wider international co-operation "to use our diversity to find efficient and innovative solutions."
