The Defender summarizes the results of the monitoring on the
situation of human rights carried out by the Office of the Human Rights
Defender: the deliberate targeting of civilian settlements and infrastructure
by Azerbaijan has led to a humanitarian disaster in Nagorno-Karabakh.
In particular:
. There are many victims
and wounded people, also among the civilian population, including children
. There is no
information about many people, including women, children and the elderly
. Families are
separated. As a result of the shelling, people were forced to leave their homes
and settlements
. The connection is
disrupted both inside Nagorno Karabakh and with the outside world
. The healthcare system
has been paralyzed, people are deprived of the opportunity to receive even
first aid
. The fundamental rights
of people are widely violated, including the right to live in peace and with
dignity, receive education for children, health care, etc.
Azerbaijan implements genocidal policy. The actions of the armed
forces of Azerbaijan, official announcements, media publications, as well as
the posts of Azerbaijani users of social networks clearly testify to the
intention of the Azerbaijani authorities to carry out ethnic cleansing in
Nagorno-Karabakh.
The Office of the Human Rights Defender continues the monitoring
process.
