The United States upended a major international treaty negotiation, telling foreign delegates at the final session today that they needed more time to consider the pact. Some diplomats said that Washington is seeking another six months, pushing off any decision on the politically sensitive treaty until after the U.S. election. Russia, Indonesia, and India also asked for more time.

Today the U.S. did not grab the golden ring: an international arms treaty that would have bolstered our country’s reputation as a elader on human rights,\” said Scott Stedjman, senior policy advisor for Oxfam. \”Moving forward, President Obama must show the political courage required to make a strong treaty that contains strong rules on human rights a reality.\”
