these munitions were left in this war zone and have been buried over time, some failed to explode after firing, and some were prepared to be fired, but were left behind when the forces had to advance or retreat in a hurry. their sensitivity has changed over time, and the original standards can't be relied on during the clearance process. these types of ordinance can be moved around with every flood.

the composition of the soil in some parts of huzastan province is such that surface run off 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. until recently, this region was underwater and the demining squad has only just been able to access it. another difficulty of the
1:08 am
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 mine. any problem becomes more difficult to solve when a clear assessment of the matter can't be made. in the case of landmines 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 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. halim was only 10 years old when on her way back from school she stepped a mine carried to her village by the river. khatoon 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 field when he

was lucky the protective gear he was wearing saved his life, but he can't participate in the demining operation anymore, and will be supported by the mentioned network instead. landmines have been much crueler to the children of the dech gorge village though. the children discovered a valmara bouncing fragmentation mine while out playing. this type of mine 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 thousand.

for a child, the difference between knowing how to act when faced with a landmine or unexploted 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 less the casualties. demining operations must be supplemented with civilian education, which has a real effect. and reducing deaths and the loss of limbs. the geographical
1:17 am
dispersion, the varying lifestyles and ages 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. 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 sections of society. the mine action center is responsible for the policy making, planning and assessing the effectiveness of the
1:18 am
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 local languages and provided to educators. brochures, books and pictures were also used in some areas.

by the unjust politically motivated sanctions which prevent any country or international organization from collaborating with the islamic republic. a look at the statistics reveals that iran hasn't received any financial aid for its humanitarian demining activities. in addition, iran isn't given
1:21 am
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 it demining operations are also sanctioned. after the war, the lands all along the border was unusable due to contamination. every day life and business 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
1:22 am
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, published statistics revealed "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 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 disarmment resolutions. they might have been able to impose great limitations on iran's humanitarian demining activities through their synctions. 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 this particular. round table was just excellent. i mean, i must congratulate the iranian, the irmac for
1:24 am
having done such a good choice. i can, i can also um say that, we we all know that iran uh plays 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 the iranian mine action center, which is institution under the the ministry of defense and which shows also the openness and readiness of..." the islamic republic of iran to share and learn from uh partner countries, so this these would be uh 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 squads. this education center represents the peak of the mind action center's abilities and the essence 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 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. pozistan province, dar khabine, this region had been underwater for the past years, and as the water subsided, an unbelievable scene began to emerge. thousands of unexploded ordinance left over from the war were sticking out of the ground, which couldn't be seen before. although the area had been
1:27 am
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 million 2000. hectares to around 100 thous 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 50,00 hectares are flooded, making the job similar to finding needle in a hay stack. these regions need to be demined regardless. because they can contaminate nearby safe zones and are a threat to the lives of those living there. "the more advanced the weapons
1:28 am
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. because the war is over and because everybody thinks the war is not going to claim any more lives now that it's over.
