And he said \u201cwe should do so again.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe especially ask Russia to examine how it can better support global nonproliferation efforts,\u201d Tillerson said. \u201cIf Russia wants to restore its role as a credible actor in resolving the situation with North Korea it can prove its good intentions by upholding its commitments to establish international efforts on nuclear security and arms control.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As for China, he said Beijing\u2019s cooperation is essential to prevent \u201ca catastrophe\u201d and conflict on the Korean Peninsula. If China truly wants to denuclearize the peninsula, he said it should work \u201cto put the kind of pressure on North Korea that can change its strategic calculation before it\u2019s too late.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tillerson said North Korea \u201cis a case study in why nations must work to preserve and strengthen global nonproliferation norms.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">North Korea joined the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty in the mid-1980s but it \u201ccheated\u201d and was never held accountable, he said. It withdrew from the treaty in 2003 and carried out its first underground nuclear test in 2006.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tillerson said there were also lessons for Iran \u201cwhich was on its own path to develop nuclear weapons\u201d and \u201cseems keen to preserve for itself the option to resume such work in the future,\u201d allegations strongly denied by Iran\u2019s President Hassan Rouhani.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tillerson spoke Thursday at a ministerial meeting of the U.N. Security Council called by the United States on \u201cthe acute threat\u201d posed by the proliferation of nuclear, chemical and biological weapons. It cited three countries in a note to council members that have been targeted by council resolutions \u2014 North Korea, Iran and Syria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Russia\u2019s U.N. Ambassador Vassily Nebenzia took issue with the meeting, saying a discussion on nonproliferation \u201cshould be general, not pegged to someone\u2019s idea of \u2018pariah states.\u2019\u201d He said a U.S. \u201cconcept note\u201d sent to council members before the meeting \u201cartificially links three country situations which have absolutely nothing to do with each other.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He said \u201cfurther prospects in the field of nonproliferation cannot be considered in isolation from the overall security\u201d situation. This means taking into account all factors that affect security \u2014 \u201cfirst and foremost\u201d the U.S. deployment of the Terminal High-Altitude Area Defense System, also known as THAAD, and \u201cNATO\u2019s joint nuclear mission.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tillerson said the U.S. never mentioned \u201ca trigger for accelerated development by some states of weapons of mass destruction\u201d \u2014 the toppling of Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein whose country was invaded in the mistaken belief that he had nuclear weapons and the overthrow of Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi who voluntarily renounced the development of nuclear weapons<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThis doesn\u2019t in any way, of course, justify the DPRK\u2019s missile and nuclear program, but to ignore the reasons for them is to be very short-sighted,\u201d Nebenzia said, using the initials of North Korea\u2019s official name, the Democratic People\u2019s Republic of Korea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"689\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP17264771725103.jpg.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-60941\" srcset=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP17264771725103.jpg.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP17264771725103.jpg.jpg?resize=300,202 300w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP17264771725103.jpg.jpg?resize=768,517 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Members of the United Nations Security Council from Russia, center, and others listen as Secretary of State Rex Tillerson addresses members during a meeting on non-proliferation of weapons of mass destruction during the U.N.

(Craig Ruttle\/AP)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During the council meeting, speaker after speaker including U.S. allies in Europe and Japan spoke out in support of the 2015 nuclear deal that capped Iran\u2019s nuclear program, which President Donald Trump is threatening to scrap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nebenzia expressed hope that \u201ccommon sense will prevail in the end\u201d and \u201cthe irresponsible\u201d attempt to torpedo the agreement, known as the JCPOA, will be stopped.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Russian ambassador then said he had to correct his early statement about North Korea, Iran and Syria not being linked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIran and the DPRK today do find themselves linked \u2014 because if the United States does leave the JCPOA, this will be the worst signal we can send to North Korea, Nebenzia said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIn fact more intensive diplomatic efforts are now needed in the Korean Peninsula and one needs to start now without wasting any timel,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Russia and China again urged adoption of their freeze-for-freeze proposal that would halt North Korean nuclear and missile tests in exchange for the U.S. and South Korea stopping their joint military exercises. But the Trump administration has rejected it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">China\u2019s Foreign Minister Wang Yi told the council it is \u201ca practical way out\u201d and stressed that China had \u201cmade tireless efforts for settlement to the North Korean issue.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He said sanctions are important \u201cto promote a resumption of talks and dialogue\u201d in North Korea. He added that \u201cit is necessary to exercise pressure, as appropriate, if countries blatantly violate\u201d agreements and Security Council resolutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cBut sanctions are not the panacea,\u201d Wang said. \u201cDialogue and negotiations present the fundamental way out.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson appealed to the international community, especially Russia and China, to stop the spread of nuclear weapons, calling North Korea a case study of the failure to prevent rogue states from obtaining weapons of mass destruction.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":60936,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_yoast_wpseo_meta-robots-noindex":"","_yoast_wpseo_meta-robots-nofollow":"","_yoast_wpseo_canonical":"","_acf":"","_yoast_wpseo_primary_category":12,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","_smg_distribution_targets":[]},"categories":[12],"tags":[],"coauthors":[5112],"class_list":["post-29631","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"acf":{"subheadline":"","legacy_arc_id":"3Y645IR5NNGHDEABHHDUARNWZY","arc_canonical_url":"\/news\/2017\/09\/22\/us-urges-all-nations-to-stop-the-spread-of-nuclear-weapons\/","remove_feature_photo":false,"is_sponsored":false,"subtype":"","redirect_url":"","disable_inline_ads":false,"native_logo_pretext":"Presented By:"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.0 (Yoast SEO v28.1) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>US urges all nations to stop the spread of nuclear weapons - Marine Corps Times<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson appealed to the international community, especially Russia and China, to stop the spread of nuclear weapons, calling North Korea a case study of the failure to prevent rogue states from obtaining weapons of mass destruction.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/armytimes\/news\/2017\/09\/22\/us-urges-all-nations-to-stop-the-spread-of-nuclear-weapons\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"US urges all nations to stop the spread of nuclear weapons\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson appealed to the international community, especially Russia and China, to stop the spread of nuclear weapons, calling North Korea a case study of the failure to prevent rogue states from obtaining weapons of mass destruction.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/marinecorpstimes\/news\/2017\/09\/22\/us-urges-all-nations-to-stop-the-spread-of-nuclear-weapons\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Marine Corps Times\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2017-09-22T12:50:30+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2026-08-08T02:46:22+00:00\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Edith M.
