International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War (IPPNW) is a non-partisan, global federation of national medical organizations in 58 countries dedicated to research, education, and advocacy relevant to the prevention of nuclear war. IPPNW was founded in 1980 by Dr. Bernard Lown from the United States and Dr. Evgueni Chazov from the USSR, and seeks to prevent all wars, to promote non-violent conflict resolution, and to minimize the effects of war and preparations for war on health, development, and the environment. The organization received the 1985 Nobel Peace Prize.
