The situation in Azerbaijan, violation of human rights and international law and relations with Armenia
Resolution on a topical subject.
Summary
In this non-legislative resolution, Parliament addresses the situation in Azerbaijan, violations of human rights and international law, and relations with Armenia. The text notes controversy over the choice of Baku as the venue for the COP29 UN Climate Change Conference given Azerbaijan's worsening human rights record, and states that in the lead-up to the conference the authorities intensified repression of civil society organisations, activists, opposition politicians and independent media through detentions and judicial harassment. It refers to over 300 political prisoners listed by civil society organisations, naming individuals including Anar Mammadli and Gubad Ibadoghlu, and reports credible accounts of inhumane detention conditions, torture and refusal of adequate medical care. The resolution also describes the extension of repressive actions beyond Azerbaijan's borders, citing reported attacks on dissidents living abroad and politically motivated prosecutions of EU citizens.
