Amsterdam In the bitter conflict over the South Caucasus region of Nagorno-Karabakh, Armenia has accused neighbouring Azerbaijan of serious human rights violations before the International Court of Justice in The Hague.
Azerbaijan is responsible for violence, hatred and racism against Armenians, the country’s legal representatives said in The Hague on Thursday.
The highest UN judges must impose immediate measures against Azerbaijan “to end the cycle of violence and hatred.” “Perpetrators are enabled, encouraged and even glorified by Azerbaijan authorities,” they claim.
Just over a year after the war over Nagorno-Karabakh, both states have now taken their conflict to the UN court. Azerbaijan also filed a complaint.
The case is to be heard next week. It is not yet known when the court will rule.
