We have published this Reader as we believe that is is an
essential resource concerning uranium weapons. As it is the work of a conference,
with many participants, the opinions are diverse. Necessarily, the views expressed

the views of Traprock Peace Center, its Core Group or supporters. Traprock
Peace Center endorses the conference Resolutions and Action Plans and joins
in gratefully acknowledging the work of the participants.
The reader has been made available as an educational resource
for non-profit use. It may not be distributed for sale (including a price
to cover costs only) without the permission of the conference
organizers. The photographs were taken by several photographers, who retain
their copyrights to the material. Requests to publish photographs from the
reader should be made to the conference

Introduction
to Conference (back to reader
information)
The
World
Depleted (DU)/Uranium Weapons Conference was held October 16-19, 2003,
at the University of Hamburg, Germany. More than 200 participants represented
21 nations from five continents, which included Iraq, Afghanistan, Australia,
Japan, US, Canada, UK, Sweden, Ireland, France, Germany, Switzerland, Belgium,
Netherlands, Austria, Denmark, Italy, Spain, Algeria, Cuba, and Malta.
"The evidence coming from the scientists, health professionals
and legal experts at this Conference is clear: DU is causing significant health
effects worldwide, and it illegal under existing international law and convention,"
concluded conference planner Marion Küpker, co-coordinator
of the German anti-weapons group Gewaltfreie Aktion Atomwaffen Abschaffen
(GAAA). "Now it's up to the activist community to force rogue governments
like the US and Britain to observe international law the same way they preach
it to other nations." Conference
