日本の核廃絶決議案採択　賛成９カ国減―国連委

　【ニューヨーク時事】国連総会第１委員会（軍縮）は３日、日本が毎年提出している核兵器廃絶決議案を賛成１３９、反対５、棄権３３の賛成多数で採択した。昨年に比べ、賛成は９カ国減った。日本の核廃絶決議案採択は２７年連続。
　核兵器保有国では米英が共同提案国となった。中ロは反対、フランスは棄権した。
　今年の決議案は、新たに来年２月に期限が切れる米ロの新戦略兵器削減条約（新ＳＴＡＲＴ）の重要性や、延長をめぐる「関係国の対話を認識する」と明記。年明けの発効が決まった核兵器禁止条約については昨年同様、直接言及しなかった。
　一方、核禁止条約への署名や批准を求めるオーストリア提出の決議案は賛成１１８、反対４３、棄権１３で採択された。日本は反対した。（2020/11/04-14:28）

The First Committee of the U.N. General Assembly on Tuesday passed by a majority vote a Japanese-proposed resolution calling for the elimination of nuclear weapons.
   At a meeting of the committee on disarmament, 139 countries voted for the resolution, five opposed it and 33 abstained. A Japanese-sponsored resolution for the abolition of nuclear weapons has been adopted for the 27th straight year. But the number of countries that voted in favor fell by nine from the previous year.
   Of the major nuclear powers, the United States and Britain co-sponsored the 2020 resolution, while China and Russia opposed it. France abstained from voting.
   This year's resolution stressed the importance of the U.S.-Russia New Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty, or New START, and recognized the dialogue involving countries concerned on extending the treaty, which is set to expire in February 2021.
   As with last year's resolution, this year's document does not directly mention the landmark U.N. Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons, which is slated to go into effect early next year.
