 UNITED NATIONS (AP) - In a world of growing nuclear fears and mistrust, U.S. negotiators come to New York on Monday to urge a global nonproliferation conference to take action on Iran and North Korea.
But the Americans and other nuclear powers will face demands themselves. Non-nuclear states last week complained the big powers were moving too slowly toward nuclear disarmament, described as "not an option, but a legal obligation" under the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty.
Because of this clash of priorities, treaty members on Sunday still hadn't completed an agenda for the monthlong conference opening Monday to review the NPT, whose workings are reassessed every five years.
