AFP, United Nations, Sept 23, 2009 – US President Barack Obama on Wednesday called on leaders to hold North Korea and Iran to account for their nuclear programs, warning they threatened to take the world down a ’dangerous slope.’
Speaking before more than 120 world leaders, Obama renewed his pledge to work toward a world without nuclear weapons and said all nations would be less secure if some avoided international inspections.
’In their actions to date, the governments of North Korea and Iran threaten to take us down this dangerous slope,’ Obama said at the United Nations.
