"I promise to work for a better world, where science and
technology are used in socially responsible ways. I will not use
my education for any purpose intended to harm human beings or the
environment. Throughout my career, I will consider the ethical
implications of my work before I take action. While the demands
placed upon me may be great, I sign this declaration because I
recognize that individual responsibility is the first step on the
path to peace."

Professor Joseph Rotblat: "We young and old must nurture a vision
of a better world in the next century, a world without war, a
society based on care and equity, a community that will protect
the environment. And we should make it our task to turn this
vision into reality."
