Deep concern with the confirmed information of the use of depleted uranium(DU) in the war of Libya ( 2011) , Since the beginning of the NATO/US air strike e on the Country Media reports and radiation protection Scientists appeared [1]. Libyans knew that depleted uranium was being used by NATO in their bombing raids and they were very worried. despite the fact that these radioactive materials were originally intended for disposal. The specialist in DU and Radiation protection Prof. Massimo Zucchetti in his text (in Italian and translated to English) showed that, there was a strong suspect that more than a 1000 Cruise Missiles being used on Libya (2011) those missiles bring Depleted Uranium either as flight stabilizers in the wings, or as weight kinetic energy enhancer. A-10 airplanes were deployed, and those too are well known for using DU bullets[2]. The ICBUW (International Council for the Ban of Uranium Weapons) has thoroughly address the question [3]. Suspicious also in all past conflicts (Balkans, Iraq, Afghanistan) A-10 airplanes have widely used DU ammunition[4]. Contamination from Depleted Uranium (DU) munitions and other military-related pollution is suspected of causing a sever rises in genetic birth defects, cancer cases, and other illnesses throughout the Libyan region. Current theoretical hypothesis estimates show the increasing trend continuing. due to a lack of adequate documentation, research, and reporting of cases, the actual rate of cancer and other diseases is likely to be much higher than even these figures suggest. Due to humanitarian reasons and ethical requirements enhanced by international and conventions laws It should be convenient, therefore, that the NATO alliance clarify in a scientific manner the presence or absence, and in what quantities, of depleted uranium in their missiles and other weapons on the waron Libya in 2011. Based on what information could be provided, the Libyan scan remove these fears in case a proven-free environment of these deadly radioactive materials that prevent their children to enjoy playing in the clean soil or they have to seek technical help to be provided by the International Scientific Community when an existence of radioactive materials present in their environmental. In both cases, The international scientific community demands the promotion of the right of children to live in Libya, free from radioactive and toxic substances and environment imposed by political conflicts in the world today.
