US torpedoes UN nuclear disarmament conference
‘The United States has blocked a global document aimed at preventing the spread of nuclear weapons and weapons technology.
Over 150 countries participated in a month-long conference reviewing the 1970 nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT).
After four weeks of negotiations at the United Nations on ways to improve compliance with the NPT, the United States announced on Friday that there was “no agreement” and accused Arab countries of torpedoing the nuclear disarmament negotiations.
The talks ended in failure after the US and its allies, Canada and Britain rejected a proposal made by Arab countries to establish a nuclear weapons-free zone in the Middle East by March 2016.’
