IPPNW's journal, M&GS, is an international peer-reviewed journal devoted exclusively to the health and environmental consequences of war, weapons of mass destruction, environmental degradation, natural and human-caused disasters, human rights questions, and humanitarian intervention.

Edited by David Rush, MD, M&GS provided a forum for the development of a knowledge base and informed discussion about issues crucial to IPPNW and its members. M&GS has an extensive set of links to Web resources on nuclear weapons and disarmament, chemical and biological weapons, landmines and the global arms trade, health and the global environment, and other issues of concern to IPPNW members.
