The use of DU in weapons is controversial owing to the serious health risks associated with exposure to the material. It is used in armour-piercing munitions because of its very high density; DU is 1.7 times denser than lead.
CND calls on the British government to introduce an immediate moratorium on its use of DU munitions; to support the global ban on the use of DU in conventional weapons; to support the development of obligations to clean up areas where the weapons have been used and for assistance for affected communities.
