UNITED NATIONS, APRIL 2. After seven years of talks, a U.N. committee has approved a draft treaty to fight nuclear terrorism, with the Secretary-General, Kofi Annan, urging all nations to sign it. The draft, adopted by consensus yesterday, defines acts of nuclear terror and bolsters the legal framework to combat it, requiring those who threaten or commit such crimes to be extradited or prosecuted, and encouraging exchange of information and cooperation among states and a broad range of mutual assistance obligations. The treaty was first proposed by Russia in 1998 and took seven years to negotiate. Moscow acted following attempted black market sales of nuclear materials after the break-up of the Soviet Union. — UNI
