This report of the working group is the sole responsibility of the rapporteurs, and while there was a high level of consensus in the group, this does not necessarily represent consensus on all points. The majority of the discussion was focused on continuing efforts on the prohibition of space weapons as instigated during the 52nd Pugwash Conferences in La Jolla and the First Annual workshop on Preserving the Non-Weaponisation of Space Missile Defence In general, it was agreed that developments in missile defenses could have major effects on international and regional security and that many components in the currently proposed multi-tiered, layered system are technologically far from proven.

Student Pugwash USA From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Student Pugwash USA SPUSA ) is a student organization , based in the United States, that aims to promote the socially responsible application of science and technology . The student members discuss the ethical, social and global implications of advances in these fields and explore the pursuit of socially responsible careers involving science and technology. SPUSA is part of the International Student/Young Pugwash group. As a discussion forum, SPUSA does not adopt advocacy positions on substantive issues. The organization posits that, in order to create effective social change, students must first understand the issues at stake, then contemplate their ethical and moral responsibility to themselves and to society as a whole. Contents History Mission and Activities Pledge External links ... edit History Ethics in scientific and technological development inspired the formation of SPUSA. Specifically, Albert Einstein Bertrand Russell , and other eminent scientists' manifesto urging scientists to "think in a new way" about their moral responsibilities provided a major impetus for the organization.

85. NGUBANE: 49TH PUGWASH CONFERENCE ON SCIENCE AND WORLD AFFAIRS ROLE OF science IN DEVELOPMENT, 49TH pugwash CONFERENCE ON science and world The theme of this Conference is science and world affairs Confronting http://www.info.gov.za/speeches/1999/990914907a1005.htm

Home SPEECH BY DR BEN NGUBANE ON REQUIREMENTS AND INITIATIVES TO PROMOTE THE ROLE OF SCIENCE IN DEVELOPMENT, 49TH PUGWASH CONFERENCE ON SCIENCE AND WORLD AFFAIRS, RUSTENBURG, 10 SEPTEMBER 1999 Chairperson, Honourable Guests, Ladies and Gentlemen; South Africa, and particularly the Department of Political Sciences of the University of Pretoria, is indeed privileged to host the first Pugwash Conference on the African Continent. The aim of Pugwash is to bring together scholars and public figures concerned with reducing the danger of armed conflict and seeking co-operative solutions to global problems. The theme of this Conference is Science and World Affairs: Confronting the challenges of the 21st Century. This is indeed a formidable task, embracing the history as well as the future of man. The year 2000 appears to be a watershed in the history of the world. It may well be like any other year in the ongoing lives of people who inhabit this country and the world. But seen from a historical perspective, the year 2000 will bring to its conclusion a tumultuous century, characterised by astounding scientific achievements, devastating wars and explosive population growth. It will inaugurate at once a new century and a new millennium, a future so vast in its human and historic dimensions that it defies prediction while posing momentous questions about social and economic viability and human vitality and values in the face of a new era. The theme of this third session of the Conference is "Development through Science", and as such the scientific management of development in realising the praiseworthy and formidable global objectives of Pugwash. But, Chairperson, although the concept "development" is often propagated as a solution to all our problems, it is a word open to different interpretations and used in different contexts. For instance, development of the economy, physical infrastructure, information technology, medical services, agriculture, etc. And, as you all know, the world is making huge advances in these fields. However, the reality is that notwithstanding innovative progress through factors such as science and technology, the present global situation regarding conflicts, the lack of basic resources in developing countries and the pressure created by population growth might be the worst in history.

88. ADDRESS BY DEPUTY-PRESIDENT JACOB ZUMA AT THE PUGWASH CONFERENCE ON SCIENCE AND I am pleased that forums like this pugwash Conference on science and world affairs bring together committed people and grouping from all over the world to http://www.anc.org.za/ancdocs/history/zuma/1999/jz0910.htm

ADDRESS BY DEPUTY-PRESIDENT JACOB ZUMA AT THE PUGWASH CONFERENCE ON SCIENCE AND WORLD AFFAIRS Rusternberg, 10 SEPTENBER 1999 Distinguished Guests/ Ladies and Gentlemen: Thank you for inviting me to this important gathering of scientists, scholars, government officials from all over the world in a unified spirit to forge appropriate use of science to develop our countries. I am pleased to be able to share some ideas with you, and I am grateful that you kindly re-arranged your programme so that I could speak today and not on Wednesday as originally planned. The theme "Confronting the challenges of the 21st century", is very relevant and comes at a time when the whole world is preparing itself for the new millennium. It is a time when we all are concerned about international security, peace, stability, sustainable economic growth and development. These are global challenges. We are living today in what has been called "the global village". We are all linked to world developments. The events on the other side of the world concern us as never before. We share a common fate; what is a threat to others is a threat to all of us. We must therefore rise up to the challenges of the global village. We must act now and decisively. Our version must be one that is driven by our firm determination to act together as we strive to raise awareness about the importance of science and technology and the significant role it can play in the 21st century. I believe that Science and Technology are important assets to economic growth and infra-structural development of all nations. There are splendid achievements of science and technology, which we have witnessed in our lifetime. It is through Science and Technology that we can bridge the gap between the wealthy nations of the North and the poor nations of the South. I believe that Science and Technology should be the possession of all of us. However, scientific discovering and inventions also have come to be identified with death and destruction due to the lethal weaponry that has been invented by some scientists. I think of the nuclear weapons, which have caused untold human suffering and deaths to many people. Hiroshima is a classical example of this.

89. Pugwash Confernce The 53rd pugwash Conference on science and world affairs will take place 1622 July 2003 in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada, on the theme Advancing Human http://scienceforpeace.sa.utoronto.ca/Essays_Briefs/Paul/Paul-CPGConfernce.html

Bulletin September 2002 Pugwash Conference by Derek Paul The Canadian Pugwash Group * (CPG), a 69-member organization that supports the international Pugwash Conferences on Science and World Affairs*, held its Annual General Meeting at Thinkers' Lodge in Pugwash, Nova Scotia this July, 18-19. Thinkers' Lodge was the property of the late Cyrus Eaton, who sponsored and hosted the first of the Pugwash Conferences in 1957. The Lodge is now managed by the trustees of the Pugwash Park Commission, a foundation of Cyrus Eaton's. The 53rd Pugwash Conference on Science and World Affairs will take place 16-22 July 2003 in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada, on the theme Advancing Human Security: The Role of Technology, Ethics and Politics. Former Pugwash Conferences have taken place all over the world, the last to be held in Canada having been in 1981. In 1995, the Pugwash Conferences and its President, Joseph Rotblat, were awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for their efforts toward the elimination of nuclear arms. However, Pugwash was also prominent in generally overcoming the resistance to on-site inspections that are required as part of the verification process for the Treaty banning chemical weapons. At one time such inspections were regarded as objectionably intrusive - such objections by Iraq having been only too obvious until very recently. *Membership of Pugwash is invitational, which applies also for the CPG. However, there is intentionally a large overlap between Science for Peace and CPG memberships.

90. SPUSA: Pledge SPUSA initiated the pledge program in response to the awarding of the Nobel Peace Prize to the pugwash Conference on science and world affairs and Sir http://www.spusa.org/pledge/

Make a personal commitment to a socially responsible tomorrow, sign the pledge. SPUSA Pledge Through the SPUSA pledge program young people are challenged to make a personal commitment to use science and technology in a socially responsible way , thereby, contributing to a safer, more just society. The pledge creates public discourse over the role of individual responsibility when selecting a career. The pledge reads: I promise to work for a better world, where science and technology are used in socially responsible ways. I will not use my education for any purpose intended to harm human beings or the environment. Throughout my career, I will consider the ethical implications of my work before I take action. While the demands placed upon me may be great, I sign this declaration because I recognize that individual responsibility is the first step on the path to peace. SPUSA initiated the pledge program in response to the awarding of the Nobel Peace Prize to the Pugwash Conference on Science and World Affairs and Sir Joseph Rotblat (a founding member of the Pugwash Conference on Science and World Affairs) in 1995. It is used extensively in the United States and by international Student Pugwash groups. Currently over 5,000 people in more than 60 countries have signed the pledge.

93. 1995 Nobel Peace Prize - An Essay By Irwin Abrams and THE pugwash CONFERENCE ON science and world affairs. By Irwin Abrams; Published in THE NOBEL PRIZE ANNUAL for 1995 as The Nobel Prize in Peace, http://www.irwinabrams.com/books/excerpts/annual95.html

THE 1995 NOBEL PEACE PRIZE FOR JOSEPH ROTBLAT AND THE PUGWASH CONFERENCE ON SCIENCE AND WORLD AFFAIRS By Irwin Abrams Published in THE NOBEL PRIZE ANNUAL for 1995 as "The Nobel Prize in Peace," (International Merchandising Corporation, New York). In the year of the fiftieth anniversary of the dropping of atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the Norwegian Nobel Committee shared its prize between Joseph Rotblat and the Pugwash Conferences on Science and World Affairs "for their efforts to diminish the part played by nuclear arms in international politics and in the longer run to eliminate such arms." Rotblat was the nuclear physicist who had opposed the bomb when the first one was being built. He was a founder and now president of the organization established in 1957 on the initiative of Bertrand Russell, the eminent British philosopher, mathematician and social reformer, who proposed that scientists should take responsibility for the nuclear weapons which science had produced and work toward their elimination before these weapons destroyed civilization. When the scientific world first heard about the splitting of the uranium atom at the beginning of 1939, Joseph Rotblat was a thirty-one year-old Polish scientist who had just received his doctor's degree from the University of Warsaw and was working in the radiological laboratory in Warsaw under a pupil of Marie Curie. Like many other scientists inspired by the news of what was now called the "fission" of uranium, Rotblat set out to repeat the experiment to see whether neutrons would be emitted. When he found that even more neutrons were emitted than those producing this effect, he realized that a chain reaction could be set up which would release a great amount of energy and that if this were released in a short time, a tremendous explosion would result. This meant that a weapon of unprecedented destruction could be manufactured.

Advertising Help the physics community displaced by Katrina: Katrina Affected Physics and Astronomy Community Bulletin Board U.S. Department of Energy Temporary Educational Matching Program Articles The Early Days of Pugwash During the height of the cold war, how did prominent Western and Soviet scientists end up in Canada discussing nuclear weapons? Joseph Rotblat Soon after the outbreak of World War II, the UK began research into the atom bomb, motivated by the fear that German scientists would develop the bomb and thereby enable Adolf Hitler to win the war. The work soon shifted to the US and the Manhattan Project. The scientists used the rationale of nuclear deterrence: The threat of immediate retaliation was the only way to prevent Hitler from using his bomb against us. As it turned out, this fear was unfounded. The German atom bomb project never got off the ground and was practically abandoned as early as 1942. But even after Hitler was defeated, the tempo of the Manhattan Project continued undiminished (see the article by Stanley Goldberg in Physics Today, August 1995, page 38 ). To a large extent this was due to inertia: Having gone so far, the scientists were eager to see the conclusion of their efforts. In addition, the brutality of the war continuing in the Far East drove some of them to look at the bomb as a means to bring the war to a rapid end.
