Statement 1672 by Defense of the Rights of Iranian Ethnics and Nations Committee on Shoulder Carriers and Fuel Carriers: Silent Victims of the Islamic Republic of Iran’s Border Policies
Shoulder Carriers and Fuel Carriers: Silent Victims of the Islamic Republic of Iran’s Border Policies
Shoulder carrying in Kurdish-populated regions and fuel carrying in Sistan and Baluchestan have long been bound up with poverty, unemployment, discrimination, and structural deprivation, becoming one of the main ways for a portion of the population in these areas to earn a living. Driven to these high-risk activities primarily by a lack of employment opportunities and economic pressure, individuals face hazards along border routes including military fire, landmines, falls from heights, and road accidents. According to human rights organizations, at least 16 shoulder carriers and fuel carriers were killed or injured due to these dangers in the first six months of 2026: 9 died and 7 were injured.

Statement 1666 by the North Germany Region Representation on August 19: World Humanitarian Day
August 19: World Humanitarian Day
Humanitarian Aid: Protecting Human Lives in Times of Crisis
Humanitarian crises—ranging from war and displacement to earthquakes, floods, fires, and famine—can put millions of human lives at risk. Under such conditions, supporting those affected and meeting their essential needs is a human responsibility that knows no geographical or political boundaries. Due to the importance of this matter, August 19 has been designated as World Humanitarian Day. It is a day to remind the necessity of supporting affected people and to pay tribute to aid workers and humanitarian personnel who strive to save human lives in critical conditions. This occasion was named in memory of the victims of the August 19, 2003 attack on the United Nations headquarters in Baghdad, an attack that resulted in the deaths of 22 people, including Sérgio Vieira de Mello, the UN Special Representative in Iraq.
