چکیده:
After Iran’s acceptance of Security Council resolution 598, although the armed conflict between the Iranian and Iraqi governments ended, for many people in Iran, especially in the western border regions of the country the war did not end. The tribulations of the peoples of these areas with the mines planted by Iraq during the imposed war have been devastating. Therefore, the legal obligation of the Iraqi government to declare areas mined in Iran and clear them is one of the main concerns of the Iranian government and people. Following the accession of the Iraqi government to the Second Protocol to the Convention on the Prohibition or Limitation of the Use of Certain Conventional Weapons Which Are Highly Seductive or Blind, and the Ottawa Convention, the way for the Iraqi government to clean up the minefields is much greater than but the initial step in this direction seems to Despite the existence of customary obligation, be to annex the Iranian government to these conventions.

Therefore, this article, understanding the importance of the mine issue for our country, given the estimates mentioned and with the killing and disabling of about 70 people per month, as well as global attention to the destructive effects of this weapon on human security, economic development, the environment, and other social aspects, seeks to answer the fundamental question of whether Iraq's accession to conventions prohibiting the use and deployment of mines will pave the way for obligating it to clear the mine-laid areas of Iran during the war or not?
1 The existence of these shocking statistics should prompt Iranian officials to compel the Iraqi government to resolve the problems related to mines planted during the Imposed War. In this regard, the Iraqi government has accepted and acceded to the Second Protocol of the Treaty on the Prohibition of the Use of Certain Conventional Weapons which may cause superfluous injuries or indiscriminate effects, entitled “Prohibition or Restriction on the Use of Mines, Booby Traps and Other Devices” and the Ottawa Convention on the Prohibition of the Production, Use, Stockpiling and Transfer of Anti-Personnel Mines and on Their Destruction, accession and acceptance of these international treaties will entail obligations and requirements for member states, including the Iraqi government, which we will address below in separate paragraphs.
