On Saturday, October 13th 1995. Joseph Rotblat was awarded the Noble Peace Prize. Joseph was a polish-born physicist. He worked to ban the use of nuclear weapons. His work on nuclear fallout was an important contribution to the signing of the Partial Test Ban Treaty. Although this doesn't seem like that big of a deal, it was. This award was very important because he helped stop the use of nuclear weapons and awarded him for his efforts towards nuclear disarmament. His contribution, even if it seemed minor, could have helped save hundreds of lives. It would be going out on a limb to say that his efforts saved my life, but you never know. After being awarded the Noble Peace prize, he went on to be president of several intuitions and a co founder of the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute. He also was a member of the Advisory Committee on Medical Research of the World Health Organization I appreciate this event and applaud him for his efforts in banning nuclear weapons.
