The 189 signatories of the 1970 nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty began a two-week meeting in New York that they hope will agree on an agenda and action plan for an overhaul of the landmark arms control pact at a major conference next year. U.N. diplomats said the atmosphere had improved thanks to U.S. President Barack Obama's declaration last month that he was committed to a "world without nuclear weapons." But Washington's support for India and Israel, both of which are outside the treaty, was clearly a source of tension. "Recent developments, in particular the nuclear cooperation agreement with a non-party to the NPT, are a matter of great concern," Cuba's U.N. Ambassador Abelardo Moreno told the meeting on behalf of non-aligned developing countries. Moreno did not name India, but he was clearly referring to the recent endorsement of a U.S.-India civilian nuclear deal by the 45-nation Nuclear Suppliers Group, an informal club of the world's top producers of nuclear-related technology. The group agreed in September to lift a ban on nuclear trade with India, imposed after its first nuclear test in 1974 and for its refusal to join the non-proliferation treaty. Moreno said there should be a total ban on nuclear trade with any country that remains outside the treaty, while developing nations should have greater access to atomic technology. "Undue restrictions which have been applied to developing states ... have caused damages that should be remedied," he said. ISRAEL CRITICIZED, U.S. AND RUSSIA PRAISED Moreno also brought up Israel's nuclear program, saying the non-aligned states were troubled by the fact that "those states remaining outside of the NPT continue to develop and modernize their nuclear arsenals." Israel neither confirms nor denies the existence of what arms control experts believe to be its sizable nuclear arsenal. India's neighbor, Pakistan, has also never signed the non-proliferation treaty but has nuclear weapons. North Korea, which tested a nuclear device in 2006, withdrew from the treaty in 2003. Iran was due to speak later on Monday. Four working papers prepared for the meeting by Tehran and obtained by Reuters show that Iran is redoubling efforts to draw attention away from its own nuclear program during the conference. U.N. diplomats said the papers showed Iran wants to turn the spotlight on Washington for what it says are clear breaches of the treaty by aiding Israel's and India's nuclear programs. Egyptian envoy Maged Abdelaziz told delegates Israel's nuclear program and refusal to clearly accept the creation of a separate Palestinian state constitute "the main obstacle to achieving regional peace and security" in the Middle East.
