This publication explores the issue of uranium weapons. The various articles present the debate between those who call for a moratorium on uranium weapon use and those who assure that these weapons are safe and have valuable military utility. The authors shed light on the uncertainty and confusion that exists among decision makers and the public. What exactly are these weapons and what is their perceived utility? What legal regimes are applicable to their use? What are the known and suspected health and environmental effects?
