U.N. Nuke Conference Offers No New Action

[shawn703]

A global conference to tighten controls on the spread of nuclear arms gave preliminary approval Friday to a final report offering no new action plan at a time of mounting nuclear tension in the world.

The 188-nation meeting produced weeks of divisive debate over issues ranging from Iran's uranium centrifuges, to Israel's nuclear capabilities, to U.S. weapons plans. But it yielded no consensus recommendations for concrete steps to rein in atomic arms.

The disagreements even kept the conference president, Brazil's Sergio de Queiroz Duarte, from issuing a summary statement endorsing nonproliferation principles.

At least South Africa dismantled it's nuclear bomb program.

Too bad US, Russia, Israel and Pakistan won't do the same.
