Home » 35 Countries Pledge to Boost Nuclear Material Security
Thirty-five countries pledged Tuesday to turn international guidelines on nuclear security into national laws, including France, Britain, Canada and Israel, The Associated Press reports. This move is aimed at preventing terrorists from acquiring nuclear material. The initiative also commits countries to open up their security procedures to independent review – a further step toward creating an international legal framework to mitigate risks of nuclear terrorism.
Russia, China, India and Pakistan did not agree to the initiative.
