ICBUW

The International Coalition to Ban Uranium Weapons (ICBUW) is a global coalition of 155 groups in 32 countries. ICBUW was formed in 2003 in Berlaar, Belgium to promote a campaign based on reliable information on depleted uranium weapons at a time when the most vocal opposition to uranium weapons had become increasingly speculative.

ICBUW campaigns for a ban on the use, transport, manufacture, sale and export of all conventional weapon systems containing uranium (usually called depleted uranium weapons). It also seeks health monitoring and compensation for communities affected by the use of uranium weapons and the environmental remediation of such sites.
