The U.N. Security Council, at a historic summit meeting chaired by U.S. President Barack Obama, unanimously approved a U.S.-drafted resolution on Thursday calling on nuclear weapons states to scrap their deadly arsenals, Reuters reported.

It is the fifth time the Security Coucil has met at the level of heads of state since it was established in 1946 and the first time a U.S. president has chaired a meeting of the 15-nation elite panel.
