Blix on India

Hans Blix came out against the US-India nuclear deal, kind of—according to a press release from Ed Markey’s (D-MA) office:

“I am concerned about the impact on the proliferation of nuclear weapons. These concerns could be met if India, Pakistan, the United States, and other states committed themselves to the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty and a verifiable international treaty stopping all production of fissile material for weapons. Absent such commitments, the proposed deal risks fueling an arms race in Asia.”
