Dr. Paul Walker has been a member of the IRSS board of directors since our founding in 1984. The Right Livelihood Award Foundation (RLAF) announces that Paul will be one of four recipients of the 2013 Right Livelihood Award. RLAF states that Paul will receive the award “for working tirelessly to rid the world of chemical weapons”. The awards will be presented at a ceremony in the Swedish Parliament on 2 December 2013. IRSS congratulates Paul on this richly deserved recognition. Further information can be obtained at: http://www.rightlivelihood.org/index.html
