The Committee of 100, for peace and against war and nuclear weapons, was a United Kingdom anti-war group. It was set up in 1960 by Bertrand Russell, who resigned from the presidency of the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament in order to form this more militant group. Its members used and advocated civil disobedience to achieve their aims.
