Science Must Remain Apolitical

The traditional boundaries between various fields of science are rapidly disappearing and what is more important science does not know any national borders. The scientists of the world are forming an invisible network with a very free flow of scientific information - a freedom accepted by the countries of the world irrespective of political systems or religions. ... Great care must be taken that the scientific network is utilized only for scientific purposes - if it gets involved in political questions it loses its special status and utility as a nonpolitical force for development.

Notes:

According to Nobel Laureate Sune K. Bergström, if science is to maintain its status as a force for development that builds networks of people from all over the world.
