Welcome
to the website of
the
Coalition to Ban Depleted Uranium
Our
mission is to:
- Present the latest facts and figures
on the use of DU munitions and products by the U.S. and other
governments
- Describe
and monitor DU's effect on troops, veterans, and civilian populations
in not only the countries where it was used but also countries to which
the particles have traveled
- Advocate
for the testing and treatment of returning troops for DU poisoning
- Act as a
clearinghouse for information on the rights and resources available to
DU victims
- Network with other DU groups and human
rights organizations worldwide to work
toward the eventual ban of DU weapons and products

Introducing:
DU TRUTH
The Newsletter of the
Coalition to Ban Depleted Uranium
DU TRUTH is intended to raise
awareness about the health and environmental concerns resulting from
the use of Depleted Uranium. We will have interviews with DU
activists and victims of DU as well as the latest news articles and
information from around the world. CBDU plans to publish DU TRUTH four
times a year and we hope to distribute it worldwide with the help of
our members.

TRUTH, contact CBDU at NoMoreDU@earthlink.net
