This books provides an in-depth analysis of the international legal
aspects of the use of depleted uranium (DU) ammunition and armour.
The military use of DU has been surrounded by considerable
controversy, mainly as regards the health and environmental risks
that such use entails. The debate about DU has thus far been highly
polarised, with one end of the spectrum rejecting any risk
whatsoever and the other end suggesting that the use of DU leads to
severe health and environmental consequences, including Gulf-War
syndrome, whenever it is used. Rather than settling these
controversies, the book takes as a starting point a precautionary
approach in light of the considerable remaining scientific
uncertainties. It examines various principles and rules of
international law, which would be at play if the health and
environmental concerns regarding the use of DU were to materialise.
