Alwaght- The UN General Assembly has passed an Arab-introduced resolution calling on Israeli regime not to develop, produce or possess nuclear arms and criticizing the regime for not being part to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT), Russia Today reported.
According to RT, the resolution calls on Zionist regime to "accede to that treaty without further delay, not to develop, produce test or otherwise acquire nuclear weapons, to renounce possession of nuclear weapons," and put its nuclear facilities under the safeguard of the UN's International Atomic Energy Agency, AP reports .
The UN would like to see the whole of the West Asia a nuclear weapons-free zone, according to the text of the document, which specifies Zionist regime is the only country in the region that has not signed the non-proliferation treaty.
The resolution, initiated by Egypt, was approved by 161 nations with only five voting against it and 18 abstentions .
America and Canada were among the minority opposing the measure .
American representative Robert Wood, earlier condemned the resolution for failing “to meet the fundamental tests of fairness and balance .”
The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) voted in September on a resolution, expressing concern over Zionist regime's nuclear arsenal. That time the resolution was rejected by 58 votes to 45 .
In 2012, the United Nations General Assembly passed a non-binding call on Tel Aviv to join the NPT “without further delay ."
However it seems that these sort of non-binding resolutions would lead to nowhere, when America and its allies do their best to support Zionist regime.
