U.N. Security Council Approves Resolution to Rid World of Nuclear Weapons

Fox News: Without singling out Iran or North Korea, the U.N. Security Council on Thursday unanimously approved a U.S.-sponsored resolution aimed at ridding the world of nuclear weapons.



The resolution calls for stepped up efforts to prevent the spread of nuclear weapons, promote disarmament and “reduce the risk of nuclear terrorism.” While it does not mention any country by name it reaffirms previous Security Council resolutions that imposed sanctions on Iran and North Korea for their nuclear activities. It does not call for any new sanctions.
