Following the atomic bombings in Japan, the world at large became invested in nuclear politics, and Norman Cousins was a prominent advocate of the world government movement. Cousins wrote editorials that proposed international control over atomic powers and the involvement of nuclear plans in foreign policy, lobbying for both in his journal The Saturday Review and through the Dublin Conference. Many, including him, regarded nuclear weapons as a major danger in the postwar era. Cousins and other pacifists and proponents of nuclear disarmament in the international community supported the Baruch Plan over the Acheson–Lilienthal Report. While both plans established an international nuclear authority, the Baruch Plan’s disciplinary regulations were overly strict to appeal to the Soviet Union. In an atmosphere of the failure of the international community in exerting control over atomic powers and the beginning of the Cold War, many advocates of conferring more rights to global organizations became supporters of the Cold War policy. However, Cousins remained noncommittal to the idea as he spoke ill of the atomic bombings in Japan, believing that there would be no winners in war. His criticism stirred conflict with the American government but also allowed him to be actively involved in private diplomacy toward Japan and elude the Cold War policy.
