IPPNW is a non-partisan federation of national me-dical organizations in 62 countries, representing tens of thousands of doctors, medical students, health wor-kers and concerned citizens who are united behind the goal of creating a more peaceful and secure world, freed from the threat of nuclear annihilation. Foun-ded in 1980 and recipient of the 1985 Nobel Peace Prize, IPPNW is the only international medical or-ganization dedicated to preventing nuclear war and abolishing nuclear weapons. We recognize that the ca-tastrophic health and environmental consequences of a nuclear war are at the extreme end of a continuum of armed violence that undermines health and security. IPPNW is committed to ending war and advancing understanding of the causes of armed conflict from a public health perspective.

To coincide with the discussion surrounding the

2010 Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT)

Review Conference, held throughout May at the

UN Headquarters in New York, we have made a

selection of articles on the Nuclear debate free to

view online.

The Nuclear disarmament debate has taken centre

stage recently, fuelled by America and Obama’s

vision for the future and his efforts to phase out

Nuclear weapons. Nuclear attack, rather than

Nuclear war, is now seen as the key threat.
