	Tributes to Joseph Rotblat
		Joseph Rotblat was one of a kind: brilliant, eloquent, tireless, demanding, impatient, completely committed to the pursuit of a saner, safer world for all of its inhabitants.
		Rotblat's thoughts and teachings about the social responsibility of scientists, the way in which such responsibilities in their research ought to be translated into their ethical decisions, must always remain a central issue in the Pugwash movement if we are to truly honor his memory.
		Rotblat also appeared at a joint PSR and International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War (IPPNW) conference in 2002, and at a PSR conference to oppose the development of a new generation of nuclear weapons by the Bush administration in 2003.

		And Joseph was just one man. Most of the scientists who had "come of age" with the realization of the real dangers to mankind posed by nuclear weapons, the leading scientists he had helped to mobilize for restraint and responsibility in weapons development, had passed away in the last decades.
		He said that Joseph Rotblat had just sent his best wishes to everyone from the hospital and they were just waiting for confirmation on his signature.
		It seems that true to form, the day before he died, Joseph Rotblat was still doing what he could to make the world a better place.

		Rotblat and the Pugwash Conference were awarded the Nobel Peace Prize “for their efforts to diminish the part played by nuclear arms in international politics and in the longer run to eliminate such arms.” Rotblat as leader of the Pugwash Conference has led the fight against nuclear weapons since 1957.
		Rotblat’s campaigns not only appealed to the scientific community and political leaders to find means of peace, but also to the public.
		Rotblat is deserving of the title of “peace hero” not only for his work against nuclear warfare, but for his fantastic contribution to the conscience of scientists.

		JOSEPH ROTBLAT: Well, I feel that particularly since there was a Rarotonga Treaty in which governments have agreed to make this whole area a nuclear weapon free zone, I think Australian scientists have a particular role to see to it that this should be kept.
		JOSEPH ROTBLAT: Now we've got a bit more money, I think we should be able to enlarge our activities and we should be able to bring in more scientists so therefore I should say this is one of the great advantages of getting the prize.
