The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, responsible for the Doomsday Clock, received the Miwon Peace Prize on Monday. The award ceremony took place at Kyung Hee University in Seoul during the 2026 Peace BAR Festival, an international conference marking the U.N. International Day of Peace. The event was organized by the Kyung Hee University System.
Alexandra Bell, the president and CEO of the Chicago-based nonprofit organization, accepted the prize on behalf of the group. Bell emphasized that the dangers posed by advanced science and warfare cannot be resolved by individual nations alone. She argued that addressing these escalating complexities necessitates international cooperation, engagement from all societal levels, and a recognition that the consequences are equivalent to humanity's very survival.
The Miwon Peace Prize was established to honor individuals and organizations dedicated to fostering peace worldwide.
