The War Legacies Project is a not-for-profit
organization based in Vermont
that focuses on the long-term impacts of war to develop a
fuller understanding of the costs of war, increase public
understanding of these costs, foster public dialogue about
the impacts of war and conduct programs that help mitigate
the impacts of war at home and abroad.
At the moment our main focus of
work is addressing the long term health and environmental
consequences of the use of Agent
Orange and other herbicides during the Vietnam war. Much
of our work focuses on the impacts of these herbicides in
Vietnam. However, we also address their impacts on US
veterans and veterans of the other ally forces and on
communities where the herbicides were manufactured, stored
and tested.
WLP also collaborates with the
Legacies of War
and other organizations working to raise awareness and
encourage more humanitarian assistance for the on-going
impacts of cluster munitions and other explosive remnants
of the war.
