What would be states’ obligations under the convention to ban on DU Weapons?
ICBUW’s Draft Convention contains a general and comprehensive prohibition of the development, production, transport, storage, possession, transfer and use of uranium ammunition, uranium armour-plate and of any other military use of uranium. The Convention also outlines obligations concerning the abolishment of uranium weapons and the destruction of uranium weapons construction facilities. The Convention obliges states to ensure a rapid decontamination of contaminated areas, emphasising the protection of and assistance to, civilians living in these areas. It also obliges states to compensate the victims.
