International Coalition to Ban Uranium Weapons
The International Coalition to Ban Uranium Weapons (ICBUW) is a global coalition of 160 groups in 33 countries. It has three paid staff.〔http://www.bandepleteduranium.org/en/i/10.html〕 ICBUW was formed in 2003 in Berlaar, Belgium to promote a campaign based on reliable information on depleted uranium (DU) weapons at a time when the most vocal opposition to uranium weapons had become increasingly speculative.〔http://www.wise-uranium.org/pdf/duemdec.pdf Fahey, D. The Emergence and Decline of the Debate Over Depleted Uranium Munitions〕 It is now based in Manchester, England.〔
ICBUW campaigns for a ban on the use, transport, manufacture, sale and export of all conventional weapon systems containing uranium (usually called depleted uranium weapons). It also seeks health monitoring and compensation for communities affected by the use of uranium weapons and the environmental remediation of such sites.〔Staff. (About ICBUW ) on the website of (The International Coalition to Ban Uranium Weapons )〕
==Current legal status of depleted uranium weapons==
Although ICBUW believes that the use of weapons containing uranium should already be illegal under International Humanitarian laws, this is not the view held by Carla Del Ponte, the chief prosecutor for the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia.〔The Associated Press & Reuters contributed to this report: (Use of DU weapons could be war crime ) CNN January 14, 2001〕 Louise Arbour, Del Ponte's predecessor as chief prosecutor, had created a small, internal committee, made up of staff lawyers, to assess the allegation. Their findings, that were accepted and endorsed by Del Ponte,〔Joe Sills ''et al.'' ''(Environmental Crimes in Military Actions and the International Criminal Court (ICC)-United Nations Perspectives )'' (PDF) ((HTML )) of American Council for the UN University, April 2002. Page 28〕 concluded that:
There is no specific treaty ban on the use of DU projectiles. There is a developing scientific debate and concern expressed regarding the impact of the use of such projectiles and it is possible that, in future, there will be a consensus view in international legal circles that use of such projectiles violate general principles of the law applicable to use of weapons in armed conflict. No such consensus exists at present.〔(The Final Report to the Prosecutor by the Committee Established to Review the NATO Bombing Campaign Against the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia: Use of Depleted Uranium Projectiles )〕
Subsequent legal opinions have sought to highlight the fact that, while the secondary effects of uranium weapons have similarities to other classes of banned weapons, their primary role as an anti-materiel weapon means that they do fit well into existing legislation. Nevertheless, an acceptance of the hazards inherent in their use should support a legal instrument based on the precautionary principle.〔http://www.unidir.org/pdf/articles/pdf-art2757.pdf Avril MacDonald - Depleted uranium weapons: the next target for disarmament?
