MOSCOW, Oct 18 — A law to revoke Russia’s ratification of the global nuclear test ban treaty completed its passage through the lower house of parliament today.
Deputies passed the second and third readings of the bill with unanimous votes in quick succession. The votes were 415 in favour, with no abstentions or votes against.
President Vladimir Putin urged parliament on October 5 to make the change in order to “mirror” the position of the United States, which has signed but never ratified the 1996 Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty.
The treaty, which prohibits tests involving nuclear explosions, has made such tests taboo. Only North Korea has carried out a test this century.
