The chapters' main idea is supported by the use of statistics, historical analysis, and personal anecdotes of immigrants going through the system.

I can't really find any concise information in regards to the IIPNW having direct publications or legislation passed. They seem as more of an organization that compiles information, and presents at global colloquiums in order to swy opinions for preventions of escalation. They also have many outreach programs for new physicians that help support the idea of nuclear prevention.
