July 16th 2008 08:56
The Mediterranean Union launched on Sunday brought 43 nations on the table aimed to work for a Middle East free of weapons of mass destruction. The objective is to "pursue a mutually and effectively verifiable Middle East Zone free of weapons of mass destruction."
The nations, represented at the summit, include Israel, Syria, the Palestinian Territories and countries across Europe, the Middle East and North Africa, agreed to "consider practical steps to prevent the proliferation" of weapons of mass destruction. The statement said that includes nuclear, chemical and biological weapons and their delivery systems.
However, it was unclear how the signatories would enforce the pledge.
