41. NAPF Programs: Youth Outreach: Peace Heroes: Joseph Rotblat, By Melissa Eileen K

    Extractions: By Melissa Eileen Kane One might be surprised to find the numerous crusaders for peace in a century torn with war and destruction. The heroes of the last century are not the great military leaders or the political leaders who marched us into war, but those who averted conflict and strove for world peace. In particular, those who strove for the end of the nuclear arms race can be commended. These heroes are often found in the scientists who helped create nuclear weapons. My 20th Century peace hero is Dr. Joseph Rotblat, winner of the 1995 Nobel Peace Prize. Rotblat does not accept the end of the Cold War as a final victory for his crusade. He warns that we should not see this victory as the end of the nuclear age. He persists that though the end of the arms race is a great victory, the nuclear problem has not been solved. Rotblat insists that we each have a duty to ensure the continuance of human life and enrichment. When I think of peace heroes, I admittedly think of the obvious choices, Mother Theresa, Mahatma Ghandi, the Dalai Lama, but when I read the list of Nobel Laureates, I discovered many heroes, nearly forgotten by the masses. Joseph Rotblat is not a household name, and hardly mentioned in any history text. However, Rotblat is a prime candidate for all that he has received. There is no better Nobel Laureate than a man who will not accept mere nuclear deterrence, but only disarmament, peaceful solutions, and positive uses of nuclear power. His crusade is inspiring to those who seek comfort and security in the future which holds only uncertainly and hope.

    Extractions: by Sir Joseph Rotblat, July 16, 2005 In national research laboratories, such as Los Alamos or Livermore in the USA, Chelyabinsk or Arzamas in Russia, and Aldermaston in the UK, many thousands of scientists are employed doing pure and applied research for specific purposes, cloaked in secrecy, purposes that I see as the negation of scientific pursuit: the development of new, or the improvement of old weapons of mass destruction. Among these thousands there may be some scientists who are motivated by considerations of national security. The vast majority, however, have no such motivation; in the past they were lured into this work by the siren call of rapid advancement and unlimited opportunity. What is going on in these laboratories is not only a terrible waste of scientific endeavour but a perversion of the noble calling of science. The Nobel Laureate Hans Bethe, who was a most distinguished physicist, and one-time leader of the Manhattan Project, said: "Today we are rightly in an era of disarmament and dismantlement of nuclear weapons. But in some countries nuclear weapons development still continues. Whether and when the various Nations of the World can agree to stop this is uncertain. But individual scientists can still influence this process by withholding their skills.

He received the Nobel Peace Prize in in conjunction with the Pugwash Conferences on Science and World Affairs , an organization of scientists which he headed at the time, for their efforts towards nuclear disarmament Rotblat was born J³zef Rotblat in Ł³dź in central Poland to a Jewish family. He graduated from the Warsaw University and until he worked at the university, the Radium Institute in Warsaw and other scientific institutions. While on a trip to Liverpool on a scientific grant, he was so upset by the fighting in World War II that he determined to do something about it. He remained in Britain and collaborated with James Chadwick , and became involved in the Manhattan Project to build the first atomic bombs . However, after Nazi Germany was defeated, Rotblat became the only physicist to leave the Project, feeling that its initial purpose (to beat Nazi Germany in producing the first bomb) was no longer justifiable. He became one of the most prominent critics of the nuclear arms race , signing the Russell-Einstein Manifesto in 1955, and with

    Extractions: Updated September 2005 Atomic scientist and lifelong peace campaigner Professor Sir Joseph Rotblat died in August 2005. This is his story and his legacy to us. Rotblat was a physicist who believed that every scientist should swear an oath accepting responsibility for the use and misuse of their discoveries. This is no whimsical suggestion: Rotblat had spent more than half of his life campaigning for ethical science. His argument had the kind of authority that only comes with experience. Joseph Rotblat was among the team of scientists who developed the atom bomb. He was the only member to leave the project on moral grounds. As a young man he worshipped Einstein and the whole exciting enterprise of science. His journey persuaded him that scientists must be made socially accountable for their work. Atomic breakthrough A few months before Britain declared war on Germany in 1939, physicists Otto Frisch and Lise Meitner published a paper in which they theorized that a self-sustaining

    Extractions: 10 December 1995, Oslo, Norway Y OUR Majesties, Members of the Nobel Committee, Your Excellencies, Officers and Participants in the Pugwash Conferences, Ladies and Gentlemen: At this momentous event in my life - the acceptance of the Nobel Peace Prize - I want to speak as a scientist, but also as a human being. From my earliest days I had a passion for science. But science, the exercise of the supreme power of the human intellect, was always linked in my mind with benefit to people. I saw science as being in harmony with humanity. I did not imagine that the second half of my life would be spent on efforts to avert a mortal danger to humanity created by science. The practical release of nuclear energy was the outcome of many years of experimental and theoretical research. It had great potential for the common good. But the first the general public learned about this discovery was the news of the destruction of Hiroshima by the atom bomb. A splendid achievement of science and technology had turned malign. Science became identified with death and destruction. It is painful to me to admit that this depiction of science was deserved. The decision to use the atom bomb on Japanese cities, and the consequent build up of enormous nuclear arsenals, was made by governments, on the basis of political and military perceptions. But scientists on both sides of the iron curtain played a very significant role in maintaining the momentum of the nuclear arms race throughout the four decades of the Cold War.

    Extractions: Welcome Declaration Statement Keynote Address (883K PDF) Reports Press Schedule Photo ... Participants Welcome to Participants from Sir Joseph Rotblat I am glad of this opportunity to welcome you, albeit from a distance, to this, the 55th Pugwash International Conference. It has a very special significance for a number of reasons. It marks the 60th anniversary of the explosion of the first nuclear weapon on this city and, a few days later, the attack on Nagasaki. It is also 50 years since the signing of the Russell-Einstein Manifesto, of which I am the last remaining signatory, and it is the tenth anniversary of the award of the Nobel Peace Prize for our contributions to world peace. As you can imagine, for these reasons alone, I am deeply sorry that I am not able to be with you. It is the first Annual International Conference that I have missed. But there is another reason why this conference is of special significance, a reason that dwarfs the others. Earlier this year, the NPT Review Conference ended in virtual failure. This disaster, for such it is, must spur us on to even greater efforts. Ultimately, its failure was due to the refusal of nation-states to relinquish even one iota of their national sovereignty. The original nuclear weapon states not only hold on to their nuclear status, but seek to augment their nuclear armoury. One of them even seeks to retain its military capability so that it can impose its will on the rest of the world. Other states seek to acquire nuclear weapons to deter an attack from others that possess them. Carried to its logical conclusion, this would mean that every nation will acquire its own nuclear weapons.

    Extractions: Dr. Joseph Rotblat (1908 Polish born Joseph Rotblat was one of the scientists that worked on the atomic bomb at Los Alamos. He was born in Warsaw, Poland, in 1908. In 1939 he moved to Great Britain and became a British subject. In 1944, he heard General Groves say that the real reason for the atomic bomb was "to subdue the Soviets". He left Los Alamos in disgust and went back to Britain. He was fortunate in that he did not have an early demise. All his papers were stolen however on the trip back to Britain. In 1995, he won the Nobel Peace prize. In 1985, he authored an article for the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists in which he gave the reasons for quitting Los Alamos in 1944. Leaving the bomb project A nuclear physicist responsible for helping design the atomic bomb tell for the first time why he decided to leave Los Alamos in 1944. By Joseph Rotblat "WORKING ON THE Manhattan Project was a traumatic experience. It is not often given to one to participate in the birth of a new era. For some the effect has endured throughout their lives; I am one of those.

The authors of the book propose that, by their very nature, the existence of nuclear weapons continues to pose a significant threat to world security even as nuclear stockpiles and the likelihood of their intended use have significantly diminished with the Cold War?s end. Most of the essays focus on the practical measures necessary to make nuclear disarmament a feasible goal, with significant emphasis placed upon methods of verification and creation of an international oversight infrastructure.

    Extractions: News for December 1997 19 December 1997 A number of notable speakers attended the event which was organized by the UK Pugwash group and held at the Royal Society in London. Sir Michael Atiyah, ex-president of the Royal Society and President of Pugwash Conferences on Science and World Affairs, started the proceedings by arguing that "Scientists have a responsibility greater than that of the average citizen". His reasoning was that as scientists have the knowledge and skills to interpret complex scientific data, they have a duty to inform others of any dangers in their work. His greatest worry was that "If scientists don't get involved with the ethical debates, the public will backlash against science." During his speech, he pointed out the success of movements such as the Federation of American Scientists and Friends of the Earth in promoting scientific analysis to the public. Bernadette Modell, professor of genetics at University College Medical School, London, described how medical research has affected her principles. She advocates massive screening of the population for hemoglobin diseases. In the UK 10 percent of the population are carriers, and the figure is much higher in the developing world. "Screening is a controversial idea in the medical community, " she told the audience. Statisically 98 percent of couples want prenatal screening to find out if they are carriers. The ethical implication of screening is that 70 percent of couple would terminate a child with the disease. Prof Modell pointed out "the closer you are to the patient, the more important the patient needs become."
