Sweden on the rise: UN's for suckas
COPENHAGEN, Denmark - Sweden said Friday that it will refrain from signing a United Nations convention on nuclear weapons, with the foreign minister arguing that the treaty "in its current form is not ready."
Foreign Minister Margot Wallstrom said the text has "no clear definition of nuclear weapons and there are a number of issues that must be answered."
Wallstrom told a news conference that there is no majority in Sweden's parliament, the Riksdagen, to sign the convention. The country's two-party, center-left minority needs the backing of a majority to sign it.
The Social-Democratic-led government of Sweden, which is not a NATO member, has been internally divided over the issue, with some saying it could find its cooperative relationship with the alliance weakened if it endorses the U.N. convention. NATO supports the idea of a world without nuclear weapons, but doesn't believe it can be achieved by imposing a ban through the United Nations convention.

Pyongyang said Ri Yong-ho's trip was for "bilateral relations and issues of mutual concern".
Sweden has a long history of mediating between Washington and Pyongyang.
Mr Ri had already met his Swedish counterpart Margot Wallstrom late on Thursday and early on Friday.
Sweden's foreign ministry said their discussions would focus on tensions between the two Koreas, and Sweden's diplomatic work on behalf of the US in North Korea.
Mr Ri's visit has been extended from the scheduled two days, and he will now stay in Sweden until Sunday, Sweden's SVT Nyheter reports.
