WMD Awareness Programme
WMD Awareness Programme
"Over recent years Nobel Peace Prize winner Professor Sir Joseph Rotblat had become increasingly concerned about developments in nuclear weapons policies that are putting the world in increasing danger of a nuclear conflict. The most recent developments have been driven by the current US administration, though other countries appear to support these major policy changes. The general public does not seem to be aware of these increasing dangers.
"In order to raise this awareness, he gathered together leaders of different Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) working in this field and the WMD Awareness Programme was created. Although Professor Rotblat died on the 31st August 2005 we honour his memory by continuing the programme he inspired." [1]
