#NORWAY: Foreign Min. Votes "No" To "Polarizing" UN Resolution Banning Nuclear Weapons

[world politics news]


Despite pressure from opposition parties, Norway's foreign minister voted against a UN resolution stating that all nations should ban nuclear weapons. Foreign Minister Børge Brende told a newspaper that a ban on nuclear weapons violates the NATO Strategic Concept from 2010 that states that NATO will be a nuclear alliance as long as there are nuclear weapons. He also tweeted that the resolution was "unbalanced and polarizing."
