Russia's Duma votes to revoke ratification of global nuclear test ban_我的网站

一 |     MOSCOW -- The lower house of Russia's parliament on Wednesday gave its final approval to a bill revoking the ratification of a global nuclear test ban treaty, a move Moscow described as putting it on par with the United States.The State Duma lawmakers voted unanimously to revoke the ratification of the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty in the third and final reading on Wednesday. The bill will now go to the upper house, the Federation Council, which will consider it next week. Federation Council lawmakers have already said they will support the bill. The legislation was introduced to parliament following a statement from Russian President Vladimir Putin, who warned earlier this month that Moscow could revoke its 2000 decision to ratify the treaty to “mirror” the stand taken by the United States, which has signed but not ratified the nuclear test ban.The treaty, adopted in 1996, bans all nuclear explosions anywhere in the world, although it has never fully entered into force. In addition to the U.S., it is yet to be ratified by China, India, Pakistan, North Korea, Israel, Iran and Egypt.There are widespread concerns that Russia could resume nuclear tests to try to discourage the West from offering military support to Ukraine. Many Russian hawks have spoken in favor of a resumption.Putin has said that while some experts have talked about the need to conduct nuclear tests, he hasn’t yet formed an opinion on the issue.Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov said last week that Moscow will continue to respect the ban and will only resume nuclear tests if Washington does so first.。    Lawmakers passed the bill on Tuesday evening in a vote of 267-157, with 47 Republicans joining Democrats in support of the measure.,US Congressmen Ted Lieu (D-CA) said the legislation protects marriage equality under federal law and provides additional protections at the state level.,The bill repeals the Defense of Marriage Act, a law passed under former President Bill Clinton defining marriage for federal purposes as being between one man and one woman. The bill also requires interstate recognition of any marriages considered valid in the states where they were officialized.,Ted Cruz Weighs in Opposing SCOTUS Ruling Allowing Same-Sex Marriage17 July, 16:42 GMT,The legislation came in response to a US Supreme Court opinion written by Justice Clarence Thomas that suggested previous court precedents such as those protecting same-sex marriage could be reconsidered by the bench.,While many hailed the Tuesday vote, some have voiced their distaste for the move. Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) lashed out, saying the passage was just part of the "Democrats' campaign to attempt to intimidate" the US' highest court.,The measure now heads to the US Senate; however, its clearance in the congressional chamber remains uncertain as it has only received one Republican backer. The bill needs to attain the support of at least 10 Republican lawmakers in order to avoid the filibuster.,House Democrats intend to vote later this week to codify the right to contraception, which was established in 1965 when the US Supreme Court ruled 7 to 2 in the Griswold v. Connecticut case.。
