The Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament (CND) has called on the British government to “introduce an immediate moratorium” on its use of ammunition using depleted uranium.
It also argues the government should support a global ban on its use in conventional weapons, while helping to clean up areas where they have been used.
Some countries, like Belgium and Costa Rica, have already banned the use of uranium in conventional ammunition.
On its website, the CND says: “Its use has a devastating impact on civilians caught up in conflicts across the world.”
The International Coalition to Ban Uranium Weapons was based in Manchester but has since moved to Berlin.
