Obama hails "historic" nuclear resolution

The security council just passed the resolution on nuclear disarmament and non proliferation unanimously. Obama spoke briefly afterwards, presenting it as a decisive moment on the way to the abolition of nuclear weapons. He said: "This historic resolution enshrines our commitment to the goal of world without nuclear weapons."
