- Barack Obama's nuclear strategy has limited scope, but real success
The gaping loophole is the absence of a treaty banning the production of any more HEU or plutonium anywhere in the worldThe early reviews of Barack Obama's nuclear security summit generally agreed that it had achieved more than mere rhetoric in addressing a global threat normally acknowledged in theory but ignored in practice. Even before the heads of state sat down to the opening dinner, Obama had some solid gains in the bag. In the run-up to the summit, Chile agreed to ship out its entire stock of highly enriched uranium, which can be used in weapons, to the US for safekeeping. On the eve of the summit, Ukraine and Canada pledged to do the same.The communiqué and accompanying work plan produced by the Washington meeting is non-binding, calling for better stewardship of nuclear stocks without insisting on it. But in the course of the summit, other states made other, smaller pledges 。。 to ratify UN conventions on nuclear security, to let the IAEA inspect sites where fissile material is stored (in the case of Britain and France), and to improve security on national stockpiles. The summit was a reasonable success, partly thanks to a narrow focus on a field that is more technical than political.Obama is pursuing a multi-pronged strategy, of which this week's summit was just one part. That strategy began with the publication of the US nuclear posture review earlier this month, which reduced the role of American weapons. That was followed by the signing of a new treaty with Russia putting new limits on both countries' nuclear arsenals. The next act will come next month at a global conference in New York to reassess the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) in which the efforts of nuclear powers to disarm will be weighed against the obligations of states without such weapons 大きな抜け穴が条約バラクオバマの核の安全サミットののworldThe初期レビューどこでも、これ以上高濃縮ウランやプルトニウムの生産を禁止するの不在は一般的に、それが単なるレトリック以上の世界的な脅威に対処する通常理論的には認めて達成した合意実際には無視されます
