US rejoins nuke-test treaty session 10 years later

None

After a 10-year gap, the United States on Thursday rejoins a biannual conference designed to win more support including from the US Senate for the treaty banning all nuclear bomb tests.

 

A speech by Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton was scheduled to help kick off the UN session, a gathering of foreign ministers and other envoys from more than 100 nations that have ratified or at least signed the 1996 treaty. It represents the first US participation since 1999. (AP)
