moralisic sounding white man cometh to defang non-white nations.....
<b>Rudd announces new N-body </b>
Sydney, June 9: Australia has set up a new body for nuclear disarmament, hoping to recruit âlike-minded countriesâ to strengthen the Nuclear Non-proliferation Treaty, the Prime Minister said on Monday. Prime Minister Kevin Rudd announced the Nuclear Nonproliferations and Disarmament Commission during a visit to Japan, after laying a wreath in Hiroshima, site of the worldâs first nuclear bombing. âHiroshima should cause the world community to resolve afresh that all humankind must exert their every effort for peace in this 21st century,â Mr Rudd said.
In a speech at a Kyoto university, Mr Rudd said the Nuclear Non-proliferation Treaty was under great pressure, with some countries developing nuclear weapons outside its framework and others like North Korea defying the international community and leaving the treaty altogether.
âThere are two courses of action available to the community of nations: to allow the NPT to continue to fragment, or to exert every global effort to restore and defend the treaty,â Mr Rudd said. The 190-nation Nuclear Non-proliferation Treaty was established in 1980 to prevent the spread of nuclear weapons and technology and to further the goal of nuclear disarmament. Review conferences are held every five years to assess implementation of the treaty.
