The UNITED NATIONS subcommission (August 2002) reports that the United States' use of DEPLETED URANIUM violates the following INTERNATIONAL LAWS:

The Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

The Charter of the United Nations.

The Genocide Convention.

The Convention Against Torture.

The four Geneva Conventions of 1949.

The Conventional Weapons Convention of 1980.

The Hague Conventions of 1899 and 1907.
(forbidding poisoned weapons calculated to cause unnecessary suffering)

All of these laws are designed to spare civilians from unwarranted suffering in armed conflicts
(US forces' use of depleted uranium weapons is 'illegal'

http://www.sundayherald.com/32522).

This means that the call of Iranian president, Mr. Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to have those in United States responsible not only should, but must be tried as war criminals for war crimes in courts (cf. http://www.iraqwar.mirror-world.ru/article/71438).

To be resolved in these trials include also the following issues:

I restrain from doing this, because I’m a private citizen, not directly targeted by United States. However, I do expect the all the nations in the world, who feel their response to answer to the call of the Mr. President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and bring forth the charges for these crimes in the front of the international courts.
