Draft Treaty To Ban N-Weapons Caps Seven Months of Bargaining
AP reports a Geneva disarmament conference draft by the United States and Soviet Union to ban nuclear arms and mass destruction devices from the seabed. After seven months of bargaining the sides compromise on a nuclear arms only ban, extending to 12 miles, with ratification by 20 nations needed. The pact allows verification beyond the 12 mile limit without infringing coastal rights, and clarifies it does not resolve sovereignty claims while excluding devices like nuclear mines.
