| Abstract | ||
| The depleted Uranium (DU) is one of the nuclear energy products. This material has been used in an ugly and fatal way against the civilians who were not party in any armed conflict. In Iraq, the United States has overused this weapon without any pressing military need during two periods: 1991 and 2003. This has caused a continuous harm for the future generations and their lives. The U.S.A. has given itself the right to use this weapon although that has been forbidden by Geneva Conventions that is signed by U.S.A. So, the multiple forms of carcinogenic diseases have widespread in many Iraqi Cities. There has been an increase in birth defects and Fallujah is the best example for that. The use of these internationally forbidden weapons specifically by U.S.A. is considered a structural fault according to the human, legal, and moral principles, which are put aside seeking power, interests, and domination. | ||
