122 countries adopt treaty banning N-arms
 UNITED NATIONS: A global treaty banning nuclear ******* was adopted at the United Nations on Friday despite opposition from the United States, Britain, France and other nuclear powers that boycotted negotiations.The treaty was adopted by a vote of 122 in favor with one country -- Nato member The Netherlands voting against -- while Singapore abstained. Loud applause and cheers broke out in the UN conference hall following the vote that capped three weeks of negotiations on the text providing for a total ban on developing, stockpiling or threatening to use nuclear *******. Nuclear-armed states have dismissed the ban as unrealistic, arguing it will have ** impact on reducing the global stockpile of 15,000 atomic *******. "Is there anyone that believes that **rth Korea would agree to a ban on nuclear *******?" asked US Ambassador Nikki Haley when negotiations began in March. "There is **thing I want more for my family than a world with ** nuclear *******, but we have to be realistic." But supporters hailed a historic achievement. "We have managed to sow the first seeds of a world free of nuclear *******," said Costa Rica’s ambassador, Elayne Whyte Gomez, the president of the UN conference that negotiated the treaty. Led by Austria, Brazil, Mexico, South Africa and New Zealand, 141 countries joined in drafting the treaty that they hope will increase pressure on nuclear states to take disarmament more seriously. **ne of the nine countries that possess nuclear ******* -- the United States, Russia, Britain, China, France, India, Pakistan, **rth Korea and Israel -- took part in the negotiations or the vote. Even Japan -- the only country to have suffered atomic attacks, in 1945 -- boycotted the talks as did most Nato countries. Nuclear powers argue their arsenals serve as a deterrent against a nuclear attack and say they remain committed to the nuclear **n-Proliferation treaty (NPT). Disarmament campaigners say the treaty will go a long way in increasing the stigma associated with nuclear ******* and will have an impact on public opinion. "The key thing is that it changes the legal landscape," said Richard Moyes, director of the British-based organisation Article 36. "It stops states with nuclear ******* from being able to hide behind the idea that they are **t illegal." "We hope that today marks the beginning of the end of the nuclear age," said Beatrice Fihn, director of the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear *******. "It is beyond question that nuclear ******* violate the laws of war and pose a clear danger to global security.
