Karen Parker, a San Francisco-based expert in armed conflict law, told American Free Press that the use of radioactive uranium weapons violates the Hague and Geneva Conventions as well as the Conventional   more...Weapons Convention of 1980.

"A weapon made illegal only because there is a specific treaty banning it is only illegal for countries that ratify such a treaty," Parker wrote in a paper, "The Illegality of DU Weaponry," presented at the International Uranium Weapons Conference in Hamburg, Germany last October. However, "a weapon that is illegal by operation of existing law is illegal for all countries."

Parker, a delegate to the UN Commission on Human Rights since 1982, provides legal advice to the UN on DU weapons and other matters of humanitarian law.

"DU weaponry cannot possibly be legal in light of existing law," Parker said.

According to humanitarian law, the illegality of DU weapons is based on four criteria:

The first is the "territorial" test. Weapons may only be used in the legal field of battle. Weapons may not have an adverse effect off the legal field of battle.

The second is the "temporal" test, meaning that weapons may only be used for the duration of an armed conflict. A weapon that continues to act after the war violates this criterion.

The territorial and temporal criteria are meant to prevent weapons from being "indiscriminate" in their effect.

The third rule is that a weapon cannot be unduly inhumane. The Hague Convention of 1907 prohibits "poison or poisoned weapons." Because DU weapons are radioactive and chemically toxic, as the military knows, they fit the definition of poisonous weapons banned under the Hague Convention.

Chief, Ban   more...Ki Moon will open meetings on Tuesday, but President Bush’s speech that day will mark the last time he’ll address the assembly as President. Given the state of Wall Street and the current condition of the U.S. economy, the nation’s troubles affect the rest of the globe and their finances. With a heightened economic strain, the U.N. will be hindered in its work to fight world poverty, primarily in Africa. Also in Africa, ICC judges are being pushed by the African Union to issue a warrant against the Sudan’s President Omar al-Beshir on charges of genocide in Darfur. An issue that will be addressed at the summit Iran’s President will add to a busy Tuesday, as he is expected to speak on his nation’s nuclear efforts. President Mahmoud Ahmadinjead will be defending Iran’s right to pursue uranium enrichment. While talks can prove to be sensitive, they are in fact necessary. A sense of tension in respects to the rift between Russia and the United States in their positions on Georgia will be a top priority at the summit. The annual meeting marks the 63rd such occasion at the U.N. and is a call for nations of the world to offer insight, communication, and clarity into the welfare of their respective governments.  less

In 2003 George Bush and Tony Blair invaded Iraq based on lies and
Deception. They claim that Iraq is better off because of it. They believe
that History will judge them. For once I completely agree.

Bush   more...had to link Saddam to Osama (by lying) because that avoided
linking him to Saudi Arabia (which was the truth). I hold Bush
responsible for the slaughter in Iraq. He has killed people by his policies
in the same way other evil leaders have. As you said Hitler never laid a
single finger on a single Jew but he was ultimately responsible for mass
murder.

This film highlights the lies of Bush and Blair and the carnage they
have unleashed in their bid to force a US compliant regime on Iraq.  less
