NEW INTERNATIONAL CAMPAIGN AGAINST DEPLETED URANIUM WEAPONS LAUNCHED

　At The Hague Appeal for Peace Conference last week a world -wide campaign against the radiological depleted uranium (DU) weapons was formed.

People from around the world attended a workshop and launched the campaign to stop the production, manufacturing, testing and use of deadly ' depleted' uranium weaponry.

Attending the launch were spokes women of the Indigenous Peoples from where the uranium is mined in Australia and Canada, as well as representatives from Japan, the Netherlands, Britain, the United States, South Asia, France, Germany and the Balkans.

Now being used by NATO forces in the Balkans, first used in the Gulf War,DU munitions release deadly radioactive particles upon impact. Depleted Uraniumis radioactive and toxic and will remain in the environment for 4.5billionyears. These particles can be inhaled or ingested causing cancers, birth defects and other health problems to soldiers and civilians alike.

Dr. Rosalie Bertell, the renowned radiation and health scientist says "These weapons should not be used; they will contaminate the land and the water, and affect the life and health of our children for untold generations."The international campaign to ban depleted uranium weapons will be working with international organisations, governments and non-governmental organisations (NGOs) to implement and enforce international laws with regards to the use of radioactive weaponry.

The UN Human Rights Subcommission on the Prevention and the Protection of Minorities passed are solution listing depleted uranium weaponry as a " weapon of mass destruction and with indiscriminate effect"

Ray Bristow, the first British Gulf War Veteran to test positive to DU poisoning, says, " I welcome the news that there is now an international demand to ban this hideous and grotesque weapon.

I find this united voice of common sense and decency a fitting tribute to my Canadian friend, Terry Riordon, the first Canadian to be tested for DU:

result:

POSITIVE 27th April 99.

DIED 29th April 99,aged 45.

Death Certificate- Cause of Death:GulfWar Syndrome.
