- Half-time at the NPT
Amid talk of good atmospherics behind closed doors, proposals for a nuclear weapons free zone in the Middle East is still the pivotal issueWe are half-way through the negotiating marathon that is the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) review conference and the crunch is approaching. The speeches have been made, the working groups set up, and drafts assembled. There are now two weeks left for the tough bargaining between the nuclear haves and have-nots over what the global arms control regime should look like.The Institute for Science and International Security (ISIS) has a very useful summary of the positions of various key countries, from which two main themes emerge: there is an Obama-effect at play, and the idea of a nuclear weapons free zone in the Middle East is becoming a make or break issue.The non-aligned and non-weapons states are saying that the atmospherics are much better than last time around five years ago, largely because of Obama's influence. His Prague speech last year, the changes in the US nuclear posture review and the New Start treaty, have all been credited to the account of the weapons states, and defused some of the us-versus-them friction that torpedoed the last review conference in 2005.But the feel-good factor does not necessarily imply there will be a meaningful agreement at the end of the month on what should be done about disarmament and non-proliferation. The weapons states are not going to sign up for a timetable for disarmament, and non-weapons states are not going to accept tougher IAEA inspections, known as the Additional Protocol, as obligatory.A key area of possible compromise is the Middle East zone. Egypt, which plays a central role at the head of the non-aligned movement states, and the 'new agenda coalition' (also including B 密室で良い雰囲気の話の中で、核兵器中東非核地帯の提案は、まだ重要なissueWeている半分の方法は、核不拡散条約（NPT）再検討会議とクランチです交渉マラソンを介してさ近づいています

- 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
