The Geneva Protocol of 1925 (ratified by the U.S. in 1975) bans the production and use of chemical weapons. Chemical weapons use the toxic properties of chemical substances in order to hurt or kill. DU is a toxic substance that is being used in war. So, yes, DU munitions are illegal. I realize that to a lot of people war seems to be a single minded situation in which winning is the only thought, but there have to be rules to try and safeguard people. While it is debatable whether war is necessary, it is NOT debatable that it is wrong to target, attack or harm innocent civilians. War, while uncivilized on the surface, has rules to follow. When these rules are broken, there are consequences.
