1. Commitment to peace
We initiate a Pledge Movement for scientists as an individual to express his or her commitment to peace. By signing the pledge, he or she commits to not to participate in the research, development, production, acquisition, and/or utilization of nuclear weapons and other weapons of mass destruction.

2. Self awareness and responsibility
This movement is intended to increase the awareness and responsibility of each scientist regarding the role of science in international peace.

3. Enhance dialogue
This movement intends to enhance dialogue among scientists whose views toward nuclear weapons and other weapons of mass destruction may be significantly different.

4. Contribution to international peace
By expanding this movement, internationally, we intend to raise awareness amongst the scientific community regarding the potential dangers of nuclear, biological and chemical weapon development. Through workshops and educational efforts, we plan to bring together scientists to discuss national perspectives on WMD and the role and responsibility of the individual. Through discussion and increased awareness of the issues, we hope that the scientific community world-wide will, like many scientists before them, "Remember their humanity" and work - directly or indirectly- to further efforts towards peace in his/her respective country.

PLEDGE
I, undersigned below, pledge with honor and dignity:
"To the best of my knowledge, I will not participate in the research, development, production, acquisition and utilization of nuclear weapons as well as of other weapons of mass destruction."
