Background and Aim: According to official investigations and statements of government officials, Iran is the second country in the world contaminated with landmines despite sixteen million mines imposed after the end of the war on four million and two hundred thousand hectares of contaminated land in five western provinces. As a group of people at risk and residents of contaminated areas, children are an important part of the victims. The purpose of this article is to review the domestic and international laws and regulations which support mine injured children and examine the capacity of compensation and restoration as a restorative model in the treatment of physical and psychological trauma and resocialization of children who are victims of these munitions, focusing on their needs and wishes.
Method: The present study was carried out using library resources and descriptive-analytical method.
Results: Children are among the sensitive spectrum of mine victims, whose situation requires a differential protection approach from the government. In the law, only the financial needs of mine victim children have been considered with defects and the psychological and social needs of these children have not been considered.
Conclusion: The necessity of using the restorative model in supporting mine victim children is to focus on their real needs and wishes, which will be paved with legal changes and reforms.
