Blix accuses US of diluting nuclear treaty

FORMER chief UN weapons inspector Hans Blix has accused Washington of not taking “the common bargain” of the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty as seriously as it once did.

He added that this is dimming global support for the US campaign to shut down the North Korean and Iranian nuclear programmes.

“There is a feeling the common edifice of the international community is being dismantled,” the Swedish arms expert said.
