UN RESOLUTION 1996/16 ON STOPPING THE USE OF DEPLETED URANIUM - DU
The military use of DU violates current international humanitarian law, including the principle that there is no unlimited right to choose the means and methods of warfare (Art. 22 Hague Convention VI (HCIV); Art. 35 of the Additional Protocol to the Geneva (GP1); the ban on causing unnecessary suffering and superfluous injury (Art. 23 §le HCIV; Art. 35 §2 GP1), indiscriminate warfare (Art. 51 §4c and 5b GP1) as well as the use of poison or poisoned weapons.
The deployment and use of DU violate the principles of international environmental and human rights protection. They contradict the right to life established by the Resolution 1996/16 of the UN Subcommittee on Human Rights.

"Cannot swords be turned to plowshares? Can we and all nations not live in peace? In our obsession with antagonisms of the moment, we often forget how much unites all the members of humanity. Perhaps we need some outside, universal threat to make us recognize this common bond. I occasionally think how quickly our differences worldwide would vanish if we were facing an alien threat from outside this world. And yet, I ask you, is not an alien force already among us? What could be more alien to the universal aspirations of our peoples than war and the threat of war?" - Ronald Reagan

War critics astonished as US hawk admits invasion was illegal
International lawyers and anti-war campaigners reacted with astonishment yesterday after the influential Pentagon hawk Richard Perle conceded that the invasion of Iraq had been illegal.
Iraq war illegal, says Annan
The United Nations Secretary-General Kofi Annan has told the BBC the US-led invasion of Iraq was an illegal act that contravened the UN charter.
UK government lawyer said Iraq war was illegal
LONDON (Reuters) - One of Britain's top legal advisers during the run up to the 2003 invasion of Iraq said on Tuesday he believed the military action was illegal.
Michael Wood, the most senior legal adviser at Britain's Foreign Office until 2006, told an inquiry examining Britain's role in the war a United Nations resolution authorizing the use of force had been required to make the military action lawful.
I considered that the use of force against Iraq in March 2003 was contrary to international law," Wood said in a written statement to the inquiry.
"In my opinion, that use of force had not been authorized by the Security Council, and had no other legal basis in war."
In the weeks running up to the March 2003 invasion, former British Prime Minister Tony Blair and U.S. officials tried to persuade the other members of the U.N. Security Council to agree to a resolution authorizing the use of force.
A TOP government legal advisor told ministers a second UN resolution was needed before they invaded Iraq.
The Foreign Office's former legal adviser Sir Michael Wood delivered his damning verdict as he gave evidence at the Chilcot Inquiry into the war today.
He said he warned that unless they secured a second resolution an invasion would be "contrary to international law".
He also rejected Lord Goldsmith's view that earlier resolutions from the 1991 Gulf War also rubber stamped the war.
And the inquiry heard Jack Straw - who at the time was foreign secretary -in turn rejected Sir Michael's advice.
Lord Goldsmith warned ministers that Iraq war would be illegal
Lord Goldsmith, then the attorney general, warned Cabinet ministers in 2002 that he did not believe attacking Iraq would be legal.
The law officer wrote to ministers in March 2002, almost exactly a year before the UK joined the US in invading Iraq and toppling Saddam Hussein.
Documents released today by Sir John Chilcot’s inquiry into the war show that Lord Goldsmith wrote to rebuke Geoff Hoon, then the defence secretary, for stating publicly that war could be justified in international law.
Lord Goldsmith made clear in the note that at the time, he did not see clear legal justification for an attack.
Expert lawyers to declare Iraq war illegal: reports 24 January 2010
AFP - Two former government lawyers involved in the preparations for Britain's invasion of Iraq will testify at a public inquiry this week that the March 2003 conflict was illegal, reports said Sunday.
Their evidence will kick-start what was already expected to be an explosive few days at the Chilcot inquiry into the war, thanks to the appearance Friday of former prime minister Tony Blair, who led Britain into the conflict.
Britain's top legal advisor at the time, attorney general Lord Peter Goldsmith, gave the green light for military action under a UN resolution passed in November 2002, but critics claim he was pressured into it.
Goldsmith is due to give evidence to the Chilcot inquiry on Wednesday.
Blix: Iraq War Was Illegal
Blair's defense is bogus, says the former UN weapons inspector
The former chief UN weapons inspector Hans Blix has declared that the war in Iraq was illegal, dealing another devastating blow to Tony Blair.
Mr Blix, speaking to The Independent, said the Attorney General's legal advice to the Government on the eve of war, giving cover for military action by the US and Britain, had no lawful justification. He said it would have required a second United Nations resolution explicitly authorizing the use of force for the invasion of Iraq last March to have been legal.
Mr Blix demolished the argument advanced by Lord Goldsmith three days before the war began, which stated that resolution 1441 authorized the use of force because it revived earlier UN resolutions passed after the 1991 ceasefire - the "ownership" of the resolutions rested with the entire 15-member Security Council and not with individual states. "It's the Security Council that is party to the ceasefire, not the UK and US individually, and therefore it is the council that has ownership of the ceasefire, in my interpretation."
Dutch Inquiry Finds Iraq War Illegal
January 23, 2010 "WSWS" - A Dutch commission of inquiry has concluded that the US-led 2003 Iraq war was illegal under international law. The conclusion has far-reaching implications. Potentially, it could open up leading politicians and military figures in the US and Britain to prosecution for war crimes.
Prime Minister Jan Peter Balkenende of the Netherlands set up the Davids Commission in order to avoid a full parliamentary inquiry into the Dutch role in the invasion of Iraq. He headed the caretaker government at the time of the invasion and has rejected the report’s findings. The fact that a commission which was set up with the intention of producing a whitewash has had to come to such damning conclusions points to the weight of evidence that exists for the illegality of the war.
The attempt to maintain the lie that the war was legal is becoming increasingly difficult. The Dutch report entirely rejects the central argument used to justify the actions of the British government and claim that there was a legal basis for the invasion.
Universal jurisdiction is the well established legal principle that some crimes can be tried outside of the boundaries of the country in which they were committed, if they can be considered crimes against humanity or war crimes. It was expressed in the Nuremberg Trials of Nazi war criminals at the end of the World War II.
The Nuremberg judges concluded that the trials were “not an arbitrary exercise of power on the part of victorious nations,” but were “the expression of international law.” This principle was confirmed by the United Nations in 1946 and it was expressed in the trial of Adolf Eichmann in Israel for his part in the Holocaust. In 1998, the House of Lords upheld the principle in the case of former Chilean president Augusto Pinochet, who had been arrested in London.
With regard to war crimes, the Geneva Conventions require signatory nations, such as Britain and the US, to pass the necessary laws and “provide effective penal sanctions” for persons “committing, or ordering to be committed” any “grave breaches” of the Conventions. Crucially, Article 129 goes on to state that each signatory “shall be under the obligation to search for persons alleged to have committed, or to have ordered to be committed, such grave breaches, and shall bring such persons, regardless of their nationality, before its own courts.”

I wanted to repost this link to a very interesting documentary. Thanks for the link.
I just watched it and I posted the video down below.
And I saw the grim video from OP - I just feel sadness!
The most disgusting thing during the 2 Gulf wars, was IMO the heavy use of DEPLETED URANIUM which now have spread radioactive & radiological contamination all over Iraq, their soil, their ground-water etc - with the horrific consequences as horrific birth-effects and cancers among the Iraqi children.
It only takes for pregnant women to stir up some of this "radioactive dust" from the ground, which whirls up particles and get into their lungs - and WHAM! their lives and future are destroyed.
But it doesn't stop here! - when all these ammunitions hit their targets and vaporize the very dangerous Uraninium particles were released into the atmosphere as radioactive dust, and can with higher up and strong current of the wind, be spread to countries nearby Iraq and therefore also contaminate the soil of countries from where us Europeans import vegetables & fruit, grain and other foods from.
This use of Depleted Uranium was in my opinion A CRIME AGAINST THE HUMANITY!!
These demons are doing this in YOUR NAMES - all this madness must stop!
This is OUR WORLD! if they are so hell bent of destroying the Earth - why don't start contaminating and poison thier own soil and groundwater in Kansas, California or wherever they grow your food, and stop poison and contaminate the world for the rest of us 6.7 billion here on Earth!
Some of you warmongers and war-apologist here should be ashamed for defending this destruction of the Earth, and take a very long good look at the all pictures of all these children who are now born with these terrible birth effects and cancers.
There are NO excuses, NO extenuating circumstances for what thay have done in your name!
Man! the use of Depleted Uranium on these scale contaminating our world is unforgiving.
Their lands and soils and ground water are destroyed for all future.
Depleted Uranium is forbidden to use according to International Law and treaties and violates the UN Convention on Human Rights:
UN RESOLUTION 1996/16 ON STOPPING THE USE OF DEPLETED URANIUM - DU
The military use of DU violates current international humanitarian law, including the principle that there is no unlimited right to choose the means and methods of warfare (Art. 22 Hague Convention VI (HCIV); Art. 35 of the Additional Protocol to the Geneva (GP1); the ban on causing unnecessary suffering and superfluous injury (Art. 23 §le HCIV; Art. 35 §2 GP1), indiscriminate warfare (Art. 51 §4c and 5b GP1) as well as the use of poison or poisoned weapons.
The deployment and use of DU violate the principles of international environmental and human rights protection. They contradict the right to life established by the Resolution 1996/16 of the UN Subcommittee on Human Rights.
I urge you to read this eminent paper:
freedomfighterradio.net...
The half time of DU is 4,5 billions years as Uranium-238 decays into daughter radioactive products, in four steps before turning into lead, it continues to release more radiation at each step. There is no way to turn it off, and there is no way to clean it up. It meets the US Government’s own definition of Weapons of Mass Destruction.
But some of you have the balls and stomach to simplify this bigger picture and monsterous complex problems for the world by fooling yourselves, and are defending these vile actions by just calling these facts Anti-American and Anti-American propaganda!
No Sirs! it's you are the ones who should wake up and stop defending these atrocities against the world and the rest of us on this planet.
This post of mine is in NO WAY just another Anti-American rant against ALL of the American people which would be just ignorant and stupid of me, because there are mostly a lot of great people in the US as in most other countries of this world!
It just happens that America has a lot of indoctrinated vocal people who sadly & unfortunately also have been lied to, and they are too victims of this phony flag waving nationalistic propaganda from the other side - from their corrupted political leaders and these slimy business people from the military industrial complexes and their practices, who are selling these wars with propaganda & lies to the people as the best thing since sliced bread in any way possible by mass indoctrination through the corrupted MSM and corrupted corporated Television news outlets.
No!! I rant equally much against ALL indoctrinated warmongers and war-apologists wherever they come from, whether they are Arabs, Muslims, European or Americans or Chinese doesn't matter to me!
And as someone else said here! - Karma is a bitc*

In a declassified memo to General Leslie R. Groves, dated October 30, 1943, three of the top physicists in the Manhattan Project, Dr James B Conant, A H Compton, and H C Urey, made their recommendation, as members of the Subcommittee of the S-1 Executive Committee, on the ‘Use of Radioactive Materials as a Military Weapon’: “As a gas warfare instrument the material would be ground into particles of microscopic size to form dust and smoke and distributed by a ground-fired projectile, land vehicles, or aerial bombs. In this form it would be inhaled by personnel. The amount necessary to cause death to a person inhaling the material is extremely small … There are no known methods of treatment for such a casualty … it will permeate a standard gas mask filter in quantities large enough to be extremely damaging.”
