More than 200 participants represented 21 nations, including Iraq, Afghanistan,

Australia, Japan, Canada, Sweden, Ireland, France, Germany, Switzerland,

Belgium, Netherlands, Austria, Denmark, Italy, Spain, Algeria, Cuba, and Malta,

UK and the US.

 

Over 35 speakers including scientists, medical professionals, Iraqi medical and

environmental professionals, independent researchers, international legal

experts, military professionals, a nuclear weapons lab whistleblower, a

prosecutor for the International War Crimes Tribunal for Afghanistan, veterans

and their families, civilians, NGO, and peace and anti-globalization activists

presented their most recent findings and

issues about the effects of these illegal weapons. Iraqi scientist, Dr. Souad

Al-Azzawi, received the internationally recognized Nuclear Free Future Award and

prize of 10,000 Euros on October 12, just prior to the Conference. She presented

her findings on environmental studies of DU contamination of air, soil and water

in southern Iraq from the 1991 Gulf War. For information on the speakers, see

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. "
