            35 Countries Agree to Tougher Nuclear Security Standards

   by VOA News

   A total of 35 countries have pledged to turn international nuclear
   security guidelines into national laws, signing onto the initiative at
   a nuclear summit in The Hague, Netherlands.
   The initiative - pushed by the Netherlands, the United States and South
   Korea - also requires participating nations to open up their security
   procedures to independent review.
   The committed countries include Britain, France, Germany, Israel,
   Japan, South Korea and Turkey, in addition to the three countries
   promoting the agreement. But analysts say more nations need to get
   involved.
   Miles Pomper of the California-based James Martin Center for
   Nonproliferation Studies said, "We need to get the rest of the summit
   members to sign up to it, especially Russia."
