Ombudswoman condemns statement of UN rapporteurs on Lachin road
As is known, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, one of the fundamental documents in which human rights and freedoms are declared, contains the principles of ensuring the equality of all people and the prohibition of discrimination, regardless of race, religion, gender, origin, or political opinion, Azernews reports.
This is stated in the comments of the commissioner for human
rights (ombudswoman) of the Republic of Azerbaijan Sabina Aliyeva
to the statement of some special rapporteurs and independent
experts of the UN Human Rights Council on the situation on the
Khankendi-Lachin road.
“We believe that this document should become the main source not
only for countries - members UN but for structures included in the
system of the human rights mechanism of this organization. However
the UN experts and special reporters showing their silence or
deliberately close their eyes/ turn a blind eye to the occupation
of Azerbaijani lands by Armenia for 30 years, the gross violation
of the fundamental rights and freedoms of more than a million
refugees and former internally displaced persons, ethnic cleansing,
genocide, and other war crimes, mine terrors, which is a serious
obstacle to the return of people, should be regarded primarily as a
double standard and disregard for the norms and principles
formulated by the UN,” the commentary notes.
