Extractions: In view of the fact that the governments of the United States and its allies have initiated an aggression against Iraq without the authorization of the Security Council in spite of the concessions given by Saddam Hussein to the demands of the inspectors and of the Security Council, and considering that this Security Council has not been able to perform the duties assigned by the UN Charter regarding peace keeping and international security, the Latin American members of the Pugwash Conferences for Science and World Affairs, 1995 Nobel Peace Prize awardee, call upon the UN Secretary General and to the governments of all member States to convene an exceptional General Assembly meeting.

Extractions: In 1987 they were awarded the Olimpia Prize by the Onassis Foundation ( US$ 100,000 shared with the Archeological Society of Greece), and the Feltrinelli Prize by the Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei ( Lit. 100.000.000 awarded every four years for work having a high moral and humanitarian value ). This money was placed in the Interanational Pugwash Foundation (located in Geneva, and on whose Administrative Board both Robert mcNamara, ex-U.S. Secretary of Defense and later President of the World Bank, and Prince Sadruddin Aga Khan take part), which was set up with the goal (still far off) of raising US$ 5,000,000 as a financial base. In 1989, UNESCO awarded to the Pugwash Conferences the Einstein Gold Metal . In 1992, The Albert Einstein Peace Prize was awarded to Hans Bethe and Joseph Rotblat, who donated his half to the Pugwash Foundation. In 1995 the Nobel Peace Prize (which entail a monetary award of 7,200,000 SEK, approximately one million US$) was assigned, in two equal parts, to Joseph Rotblat, President of Pugwash, and to the Pugwash Conferences on Science and World Affairs. Joseph Rotblat has donated his half of the Prize to Pugwash (one-third to International Pugwash, one-third to British Pugwash, and one-third to a special Pugwash Trust that he is now setting up). The funds that have thus come to international Pugwash (two-thirds of the Nobel Peace Prize monies) have all gone to the Pugwash Foundation.

Extractions: Electronic Precinct November 1995 Joseph Rotblat, a graduate and a former member of staff, has been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for 1995. The Norwegian Nobel Committee announced on Friday, 13 October that it had decided to award the Nobel Peace Prize for 1995, in two equal parts, to Joseph Rotblat and to 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. In a letter congratulating Professor Rotblat on the award of the Nobel Peace Prize the Vice-Chancellor wrote: `This is a very great honour and it is well deserved. I know that I speak for every member of the University, and particularly those in the Department of Physics, when I say how proud we are that a graduate of this University, and a former colleague, has been recognised in this way. It is a unique occasion in the University's history.' Professor Rotblat is a former Director of Research in Nuclear Physics of the University of Liverpool and was awarded the honorary degree of Doctor of Science in 1989. In his oration Professor Fred Norbury described how Joseph Rotblat arrivie arrived here in April 1939 from his native Poland, choosing Liverpool in preference to Paris. He had envisaged the concept of the atom bomb and had convinced himself of the vital necessity for the Allies to develop it first. He approached Professor James Chadwick (later Sir James Chadwick) with a proposal for research on the feasibility of the bomb and the work was undertaken using the cyclotron that Chadwick had built in the basement of the George Holt Building (now occupied by Metallurgy and Material Science). He went on to join Chadwick's team in Los Alamos working on what was called the Manhattan Project.

Extractions: The Nobel Peace Prize for 1995 Text of the citation by the Norwegian Nobel Committee honouring Joseph Rotblat and the Pugwash Conferences on Science and World Affairs: The Norwegian Nobel Committee has decided to award the Nobel Peace Prize for 1995, in two equal parts, to Joseph Rotblat and to 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. It is fifty years this year since the two atomic bombs were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and forty years since the issuing of the Russell-Einstein Manifesto. The Manifesto laid the foundations for the Pugwash Conferences which have maintained a high level of activity to this day. Joseph Rotblat was one of the eleven scientists behind the Manifesto and has since been the most important figure in the Pugwash work. The Conferences are based on the recognition of the responsibility of scientists for their inventions. They have underlined the catastrophic consequences of the use of the new weapons. They have brought together scientists and decision-makers to collaborate across political divides on constructive proposals for reducing the nuclear threat.
WISE NC: NOBEL PEACE PRIZE FOR PUGWASH
Norwegian nobel Committee said it awarded the $1 million nobel peace prize to JosephRotblat and the pugwash conferences on science and world affairs this year
http://www.antenna.nl/wise/442/4377.html

Extractions: published by WISE News Communique on October 27, 1995 The Norwegian Nobel Committee said it awarded the $1 million Nobel peace prize to Joseph Rotblat and the Pugwash Conferences on Science and World Affairs this year, 50 years after nuclear bombs were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, to encourage the world to now rid itself of the nuclear threat. Joseph Rotblat is the founder of Pugwash. He is a scientist who resigned from the Manhattan Project (to develop nuclear weapons during World War II) and then dedicated his life to campaigning against the nuclear weapons it developed. (442.4377) WISE-Amsterdam - The awarding of the Nobel to Rotblat and Pugwash was unexpected, with the Nobel Committee passing over better-known nominees including former U.S. President Jimmy Carter and the politicians who were crucial in bringing about a ceasefire in Northern Ireland. "It is the committee's hope that the award of the Nobel Peace Prize for 1995 to Rotblat and to Pugwash will encourage world leaders to intensify their efforts to rid the world of nuclear weapons," the Nobel Committee said in its citation. The panel hoped the award would also send a clear message of protest to the French and Chinese governments over their recent nuclear tests. Rotblat, a Polish-born British citizen, was the only scientist to resign from the Manhattan Project. Since leaving the project in 1944, he has campaigned for nuclear disarmament, and until recently also worked at London's St. Bartholomew's Hospital, specializing in nuclear medicine.

Extractions: MIT was honored by two Nobel Prizes this year, both of which were related to the consequences of man's tech- nological advances. Professor of Earth, Atmospheric, and Planetary Sciences Mario J. Molina shared the 1995 Nobel Prizes in chemistry for his work in explaining the chemical mechanisms of ozone depletion. The Pugwash Conferences on Science and World Affairs, a group of scientists pushing for the elimination of nuclear arms, received the 1995 Nobel Peace Prize. At least six people affiliated with MIT are members of Pugwash. This is the second time an organization with strong ties to MIT has won the peace prize. In total, MIT-affiliated Nobel laureates in science include nine current MIT faculty members, three former faculty members, and 10 other alumni. Molina is the first MIT faculty member to win the chemistry prize. Molina shared the Nobel Prize with F. Sherwood Rowland of the University of California at Irvine and Paul Crutzen of the Max Planck Institute in Mainz, Germany.

Extractions: The Pugwash Conferences on Science and World Affairs, which include at least six people affiliated with MIT, was awarded this year's Nobel Peace Prize on Friday. Joseph Rotblat, one of the founders of Pugwash, shared the million-dollar prize with the organization. Pugwash, named after the town in Nova Scotia where the first conference was held in 1957, grew out of a manifesto drafted in 1955 by Albert Einstein and British philosopher Bertrand Russell. The Russell-Einstein Manifesto called upon the scientists of the world to consider the social and ethical implications of their work. The Nobel Committee cited the Conferences' "efforts to diminish the part played by nuclear arms in international politics and in the longer run to eliminate such arms." The Conferences are based on the recognition of the responsibility of scientists for their inventions. They have underlined the catastrophic consequences of the use of the new weapons and brought together scientists and decision-makers to collaborate across political divides on constructive proposals for reducing the nuclear threat. "Very many members of faculty are active with Pugwash," said Kosta Tsipis, director of the program in science and technology for international security, a Pugwash member since 1968.

Extractions: The two-day program, held at the Roman Campidoglio, overlooking the ruins of the Roman Forum, addressed war and violence, international terrorism, poverty, water and other ecological crises. Sessions were broken up by events that included a reception by the City of Rome, and a private concert at the Fontana di Trevi. The Laureates urged recognition of human rights from all sides in the struggle against terrorism, and called on both Palestinians and Israelis to reject extremism and violence. They urged a solution to the Iraq-U.S. crisis by the U.N. Security Council. Pointing out that the UN Security Council resolutions must be fully adhered to, they cautioned that at the same time, the struggle against terrorism must not become a pretext for unjust constraints on human rights. The statement calls for the abolition of nuclear and other weapons of mass destruction, and concluded with a call for the creation of a culture of peace, overcoming the growing culture of war.

Extractions: May 7, 2002 The terrorist attacks on Sept. 11 impressed upon all of us just how vulnerable modern society can be to the ruthless actions of individuals who succeed in commandeering the instruments of our technology and in turning them against us. So it should come as no surprise that the prospect of terrorists gaining access to and threatening to use weapons of mass destruction has now become a central concern of the international community. The question is, how should we respond to detect and prevent this all-too-real threat? Since 1957, the Pugwash Conferences on Science and World Affairs, recipient of the 1995 Nobel Peace Prize, have brought together an international network of scientists, policy analysts, and political and military figures to recommend ways of reducing the threats of weapons of mass destruction. Through annual meetings and specialized workshops, experts from a wide range of disciplines and backgrounds have contributed important ideas and solutions to many of the major international security challenges facing the global community. We will continue these discussions this summer, nearly a year after Sept. 11, with an even deeper sense of responsibility of our mission and many pressing issues to discuss. Beginning on Aug. 9, the anniversary of the destruction of Nagasaki by an atomic bomb, the United States will play host to a Pugwash Conference for the first time since 1989. The conference, to be at the University of California San Diego, will bring together 300 participants from more than 60 countries to discuss, among other things, how to use new developments in science and technology to respond to terrorism, limit the access of terrorists to biological, chemical and nuclear weapons of mass destruction, and address other challenges to global security and sustainability facing the international community.

CNN: Peace Prize Winner Surprised At Selection - Oct. 13, 1995
I am overwhelmed at the news, the 86year-old physicist told Reuters at the Londonoffice of the pugwash conferences on science and world affairs.
http://www.cnn.com/WORLD/9510/nobel/

Extractions: Web posted at: 8:25 a.m. EDT (1225 GMT) OSLO, Norway (CNN) Joseph Rotblat cried when he heard the news that he and his 38-year-old organization had won the Nobel Peace Prize for 1995. "I am overwhelmed at the news," the 86-year-old physicist told Reuters at the London office of the Pugwash Conferences on Science and World Affairs. "I did not really expect it. In recent years the peace prize has really been going to well- known politicians." Not this time. The Nobel Prize Committee sent an open message Friday with its choice for the 1995 prize. "One of the reasons for the prize is a sort of protest against testing of nuclear weapons and nuclear arms in general," said the prize committee's chairman, Francis Sejersted. "This is a message to all the world's nuclear powers." The Polish-born Rotblat, now a British citizen, was one of 11 scientists behind a manifesto published 40 years ago by philosopher Bertrand Russell and scientist Albert Einstein, calling on researchers to take responsibility for their work, particularly those working on the atomic bomb. That manifesto served as the groundwork for the Pugwash Conferences, first convened in 1957 in Pugwash, Nova Scotia, Canada. During Friday's announcement of the prize, the Nobel committee cited the Pugwash Conferences "for their efforts to diminish the part played by nuclear arms in international politics and in the longer run to eliminate such arms."
