NEW YORK -- The U.N. General Assembly has approved a global treaty aimed at preventing nuclear terrorism.
The resolution approved Wednesday calls on all countries to sign and ratify the "International Convention for the Suppression of Acts of Nuclear Terrorism." It won't come into force until 22 countries ratify it.
The treaty caps a seven-year campaign led by Russia and would make it a crime for would-be terrorists to possess or threaten to use nuclear material. It also calls for greater intelligence-sharing between countries.
Negotiating the treaty hasn't been easy. There have been problems defining terms such as "radioactive material" and "device" -- and deciding who should be exempt from criminal prosecution.
[gasp]Stop it! You're killing me! I can't stand it!
You reporters can't just write this stuff and inflict it on us folks with bladder-control issues without prior warning.
