Campagin Against Depleted Uranium

Proposed CADU International Conference 1st and 2nd July 2000 Manchester - England

Although CADU is a relatively new campaign group we have experienced exponential growth and now receive international attention. Our bulletins and briefings are bringing us enquiries from places as far apart as the United States, Nigeria, India and Switzerland.

The issues around depleted uranium are still contentious. There are some who question the severity of the problem. Some say that claims of its threat and the ill effects that it causes have been exaggerated. Therefore, we would like to have a forum for the debate. We plan to have a two day weekend conference based around speakers and workshops in Manchester town hall. We expect between eighty and one hundred and fifty delegates from across the globe.
Workshops and speakers would discuss such topics as the medical effects of DU, the use of DU in Iraq and in the Balkans, as well as planning for future campaigns and events.

The conference will be linked to the UN year for a culture of peace.
