The Sunshine Project was an international NGO dedicated to upholding prohibitions against biological warfare and, particularly, to preventing military abuse of biotechnology. It was directed by Edward Hammond. An announcement was posted on The Sunshine Project website, "As of 1 February 2008, the Sunshine Project is suspending its operations", due to a lack of funding. Its website remained online for some time after this date and could be used as an archive of its activities and publications from 2000 through 2008. However, as of October 2013 the Sunshine Project website was offline.

L'organisation dispose de bureaux à Austin, Texas (EU) et à Hambourg (Allemagne). Elle travaille en dénonçant les recherches sur les armes biologiques et chimiques. Elle accède à des documents sous couvert du Freedom of Information Act ou provenant de sources librement accessibles ; elle publie des rapports et encourage les actions visant à réduire les risques de guerre biologique. Elle surveille la construction de laboratoires à haut degré de confinement et les activités dual-use (c'est-à-dire à la fois offensives et défensives) du programme de défense américain contre une attaque biologique. Elle s'intéresse aussi de près aux recherches et au développement financés par le gouvernement des États-Unis. dans le domaine des armes non létales, telles que le produit chimique utilisé par les autorités russes pour mettre fin à la prise d'otages dans un théâtre de Moscou en 2002. Le Project Sunshine est également actif dans les réunions de la Convention sur l'interdiction des armes biologiques, le principal traité interdisant l'utilisation de l'arme biologique. * Portail des associations * Portail de la paix (fr)
  • The Sunshine Project was an international NGO dedicated to upholding prohibitions against biological warfare and, particularly, to preventing military abuse of biotechnology. It was directed by Edward Hammond. With offices in Austin, Texas, and Hamburg, Germany, the Sunshine Project worked by exposing research on biological and chemical weapons. Typically, it accessed documents under the Freedom of Information Act and other open records laws, publishing reports and encouraging action to reduce the risk of biological warfare. It tracked the construction of high containment laboratory facilities and the dual-use activities of the U.S. biodefense program. Another focus was on documenting government-sponsored research and development of incapacitating "non-lethal" weapons, such as the chemical used by Russia to end the Moscow theater hostage crisis in 2002. The Sunshine Project was also active in meetings of the Biological Weapons Convention, the main international treaty prohibiting biological warfare. An announcement was posted on The Sunshine Project website, "As of 1 February 2008, the Sunshine Project is suspending its operations", due to a lack of funding. Its website remained online for some time after this date and could be used as an archive of its activities and publications from 2000 through 2008.
