the composition of the soil in some parts of khuzastan province is such that surface runoff water doesn't seep into the ground very easily. this means that some contaminated areas become inaccessible due to flooding. the area of the contaminated region changes with the rise and fall of water levels. these regions cannot be used under any circumstances and even pose a threat safe zones nearby.
9:08 am
until recently, this region was underwater and the demining squad has only just been able to access it. another difficulty of the demining process is the effect the time and changes in climate have on the landmines and ordinance. they might not be triggerable anymore, or they might have become more sensitive. an anti-tank mine might have become as sensitive as an anti-personnel mind. any problem becomes more difficult to solve when a clear assessment of the matter can't be made. in the case of landmine. and unexploded munitions, these changes are literally matter of life and death. demining areas with such diverse geographies and climates is a difficult, exhausting and time-consuming task. we need highly skilled
9:09 am
and effective forces with specialist training to rit the world of unexploded ordinance, and make it safe for civilians again. it goes without saying that these forces also need advanced tools and huge budget. hallyman was only 10 years old, when on her way back from school she stepped a mine carried to her village by the river. khatun was seven when she stepped a mine while playing with her friends in the village, that area had previously been demined.

"fardeen was busy working in the fields when he came across a plastic object, he picked it up out of curiosity, and the mine exploded in his hands. both his hands were amputated at the wrists. he completely lost one of his eyes, and the other eye can only barely make out the light. این مینا نبودم من اصلاً اینجوری نمیشدم. من چیکار داشتم به مین؟ من داشتم زندگی خودمو میکردم. یه مردم خب یه مرده متحرک من تو خودم اصلاً درست نیستم اصلاً عقلم درست کار نمی کنه مریضم وقتی اومدم مثلا بالاسر مامانم بود بابام بود همه دیگه گریه کردن و این چیزا اون موقع فهمیدم که پام اینجوری شده گفتن

and will be supported by the mentioned network instead. landmines have been much crueler to the children of the deh gorge village though. the children discovered a valmara bouncing fragmentation mine while out playing. this type of mind detonates in two stages, the first explosion launches it about 40 to 50

centimeters off the ground, where the main charge detonates, projecting more than a thous fragmentations in all directions and killing or wounding everyone within effectable radius. five children were killed.

for a child, the difference between knowing how to act when faced with a landmine or unexploded ordinance and not knowing how dangerous they are, is literally life or death. children are the age group most hurt by these munitions. that's why the more the number of civilians educated about them, the
9:17 am
less the casualties, demining operations must be supplemented with civilian education, which has a real effect on reducing deaths and the loss of lives. the geographical dispersion, the varying lifestyles and and ages of the people at risk from landmines makes educating them a big challenge, not to mention that most of these people are villagers, shepherds and nomads. "some of them are even travelers who just pass through these areas. اگه این علامت یا این تابلو هر جا نصب بود یعنی اونجا یک منطقه خطرناک. the places those people need to be educated have a larger combined area than the regions that require demining. the educational materials

and methods need to be adapted to the different ages and different." of society, the mine action center is responsible for the policy making, planning and assessing the effectiveness of the education. accordingly, the center focuses on prioritizing the different regions in need of education and producing and adapting the educational materials to match the type of threat and the target audience. the educational materials are produced in the form of documentaries, stories or even animations in different

iran has one major difference with the rest the world, and that is the limitations caused by the unjust politically motivated sanctions which prevent any country or international organization from collaborating with the islamic republic. a look at the statistics
9:21 am
reveals that iran hasn't received any financial aid for its humanitary. and demining activities. in addition, iran isn't given access to advanced equipment. it is even banned from using the msma, the information management system for mine action, which registers information regarding the detection and clearance of minds. put simply, iran is barred from receiving. any equipment or financial and scientific aid, why? because iran is sanctioned, and therefore its demining operations are also sanctioned. after the war, the lands all along the border was unusable due to contamination. every day, life and business
9:22 am
in these areas were facing total destruction. more important, however, was the damage done to the... public's mental sense of security. this map shows the regions of iran's five border provinces contaminated with landmines and unexploted ordinance after the end of the war. this map shows the state of those regions after 30 years of demining. despite all the sanctions and limitations,
9:23 am
published statistics revealed that the islamic republic of iran mine action center boasts the highest number of discovered mines in 2019. the islamic republic of iran is no stranger to the work we do. and uh excellency, your country has consistently supported the efforts of the general assembly in the elaboration of resolutions on assistance in mine action and other very important disarament uh resolutions. they might have been able to impose great limitations on iran's humanitarian demining activities through their sanctions, but nevertheless the islamic republic of iran mine action center. still outperforms all other countries when it comes to mind clearance thanks to its achievements and wealth of experience, and i think also the mix of the countries and the participants in
9:24 am
this particular round table was just excellent. i mean, i must congratulate the iranian, the irmac for having done such a good choice, i can, i can also um say that, you now we we all know that iran uh plays a very particular and important role in this region and um and it is clear that in the future there is very good prospect to have a stronger interaction for all of you with the islamic republic uh of iran with regard to humanitarian demining and maybe also in in other aspects opening the doors of the iranian um mine action center, which is institution under the the ministry of defense and which uh shows also the openness and
9:25 am
readiness of the islamic republic of iran to share and learn from uh partner countries, so this these would be my improvised uh last words today. this is the islamic republic of iran mine action center's international education building, a center for the exchange of experience, support of research and scientific activities, and improving the knowledge and skill of mind clearance squats. this education center represents the peak of the mind action center's abilities and the... of its scientific advancements, research projects regarding novel ways of clearing minds are always of high priority at this center. this complex isn't restricted to just
9:26 am
iranian squads and students from other countries are allowed to attend the programs held here. this center strives to expand humanitarian demining efforts and help improve the mind clearance capabilities of other countries. iran's increasing knowledge of demining has led international institutions and other countries struggling with the clearance of unexploded munitions to request to collaborate with iran. this region had been underwater for the past years, and as the water subsided, an
9:27 am
unbelievable scene began to emerge. thousands of unexploted ordinance, left over from the war were sticking out of the ground, which couldn't be seen before. although the area had been previously cleared, this deadly munition field had expanded the... contaminated area once again, iranian lands contaminated with mines and unexploded ordinance were cut from 4,200,00 hectares to around 100 thousand hectares through 30 years of demining operations. clearing the remaining area, however, is proving more difficult than all the previous areas that had been cleared combined. this is because these lands have very special characteristics. at least 50000 hectares are flooded, making the job similar to finding a needle in a hay stack. these regions need to
9:28 am
be. mind regardless, because they can contaminate nearby safe zones and are a threat to the lives of those living there. the more advanced the weapons became, the more people died after the wars ended. as soon as one war ended, another would begin, and so the weapons never. stopped firing, one thing all those wars had in common was the unexploded munitions and mines they left behind. very little attention is paid to the deaths caused by unexploted munitions because they happen after the war is over and because everybody thinks the war is not going to claim any more lives now that it's over.
