Liechtenstein ratifies nuclear test ban
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
VIENNA, Austria -- Liechtenstein has ratified the Comprehensive Nuclear Test-Ban Treaty, bringing to 116 the number of nations that have endorsed the pact, the Vienna-based treaty organization said Wednesday.
Lawmakers in the tiny alpine republic ratified the treaty Tuesday, the Comprehensive Test-Ban Treaty Organization said in a statement.
The treaty outlaws all nuclear weapons test explosions. It was drafted at an international conference in Geneva and adopted by the U.N. General Assembly in 1996.
The accord still has not come into effect, however, because only 32 of 44 nations listed in an annex to the treaty have signed and ratified the pact, the group said.
Some people can't think for themselves so they vote democratic
