Keeny, Jr, S M

The Ukrainian parliament`s overwhelming vote (301-8) approving accession to the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), which demonstrated a national consensus for a future without nuclear weapons rather than the vain glorious pursuit of nuclear grandeur, has greatly strengthened the nuclear non-proliferation regime and global security. Ukraine`s accession to the NPT, coming directly on the heels of the US-North Korean agreement closing down Pyongyang`s nuclear weapons program, should ensure the indefinite extension of the NPT at the April 1995 conference.
