Amnesty International: Azerbaijan not held accountable for rights violations in Nagorno-Karabakh

Azerbaijan was not held accountable for violations of the rights of Armenians in Nagorno-Karabakh, according to Amnesty International’s annual report.

“Impunity prevailed for violations in the conflict over the disputed Nagorno-Karabakh region. On 24 January, when suspending Azerbaijan’s credentials, PACE reiterated its concern at Azerbaijan’s failure to acknowledge the severe humanitarian and human rights impact of restricting access from Armenia to Nagorno-Karabakh through the Lachin Corridor. PACE also reiterated its condemnation of Azerbaijan’s September 2023 military operation, which led to the displacement to Armenia of the entire ethnic Armenian population of Nagorno-Karabakh, amounting to more than 100,000 people. Their right to a safe and dignified return remained unrealized,” the report said.
