They cause widespread and long lasting radioactive contamination of the environment. These weapon systems are radiologically and chemically toxic. Many people - innocent civilians especially children, military veterans, industry workers - have illnesses and medical problems, which may be due to their exposure to 'depleted' uranium. In areas such as southern Iraq, where uranium munitions were used by the US and the UK, there have been reports of increases in cancers, leukemia and birth defects. At least 18 countries possess these weapons, the use of which is contrary to existing humanitarian law. We, the people, need to let governments and the United Nations know that these weapons can have no part in a humane and caring world. Every signature counts! http://www.rense.com/general64/du.htm Horror Of US Depleted Uranium In Iraq Threatens World http://www.cadu.org.uk/info/iraq/index.htm The Fourth International Day of Action: 4th - 6th November 2005 November 6th has been set by theUN as the International Day for Preventing the Exploitation of the Environment in War and Armed Conflict. ICBUW is therefore asking all groups and individuals to organise actions to ban uranium weapons. Just having a small-scale study meeting or doing a one-person petition on the street will contribute a lot to gathering momentum for the international campaign. So please join us! There are planned events in Glasgow, Manchester and London, if you'd like to organise something in your own area, or join in with one of the three events mentioned already, please get in touch. CADU have a wide range of campaign resouces available - posters, leaflets and information packs, contact us for bulk purchases on the cheap.. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
