New York - On
Monday, delegates from the United States and many members of the European
Union have walked out of a nuclear non-proliferation conference at the UN general assembly in New York after Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Iran's president, criticised nuclear weapon
states. Ahmadinejad (photo) is the only head of state taking part in the UN nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) review conference, which is hosting delegations from 189 countries.
The president rejected allegations by world powers that his country is developing nuclear weapons, citing
not a single credible proof. Ahmadinejad urged the suspension of members in the board of governors of the International Atomic Energy Agency, which use or threaten to use nuclear
weapons. "How can the United States be a member of the board of governors when it used nuclear weapons against Japan," he
said.
