Invitation
15. March 2009 - 18:06 — Ivo SlausDear Colleagues, dear all,
The economic crisis which today shakes the whole world is the greatest challenge facing the globe and each individual state. We are facing a global crisis - economic, energy, ecological, moral and psycho-social aggravated by climate change and demographic transition. No country - and in particular not our country can isolate itself from this global crisis. Moreover, the crisis in some countries probably started even earlier. Some countries are enormously indebted, their products and exports are significantly less than imports and consumption, most of their riches have been sold, the workforce is underemployed (Poland, Croatia and Serbia have very lo employment rate, about 50-58%) and the ratio between pensioners and workers is unsustainable (typically less than 1 vs. 2.5). The majority of socio-economic indicators classify many South East European countries near the bottom of European countries and sometimes even worse than that.

Manifesto of the World Academy od Art & Science
22. April 2010 - 13:57 — Ivo Slaus
The idea of founding an international association for exploring major concerns of humanity in a nongovernmental context grew out of many conversations that took place among leading scientists and intellectuals in the years following World War II. Prominent among this group were people such as Albert Einstein and Robert Oppenheimer who had played a part in the development of the atomic bomb and were deeply concerned about how it and other scientific advances might be used – or misused.
Senior European statesmen issue a statement on Nuclear Security
14. April 2010 - 14:58 — Ivo SlausSenior European statesmen and women release the following statement to coincide with the Washington Summit
The recently signed arms control treaty between the United States and Russia brings welcome reductions in deployed nuclear warheads and an agreed ceiling on the number of delivery vehicles that each side may possess. We applaud the new agreement and the acts of political leadership required in both countries to bring it about. The breakthrough is all the more welcome, coming just weeks before both the Washington Summit on Nuclear Security and the Review Conference of the Non-Proliferation Treaty. Across Europe, and at this moment of diplomatic opportunity, we have joined together to declare our unequivocal support for President Obama’s vision of a world without nuclear weapons, to declare our desire to re-set the security relationship between Europe, the US and Russia, and to show strong European support for the measures necessary to deliver these goals.
