Human Rights Commissioner (Ombudsman) of the Republic of Azerbaijan Sabina Aliyeva issued a statement on the resolution adopted against Azerbaijan in the French Senate.

According to the information given to APA by the Ombudsman Office, the statement states that the "Imposition of sanctions against Azerbaijan and its immediate withdrawal from the territory of Armenia, the request to comply with the ceasefire agreement dated November 9, 2020 and The resolution entitled "promoting all initiatives aimed at the establishment of lasting peace between the two countries" is a biased, untruthful piece of paper aimed at double standards, and is a clear indication of the collapse of international law, international humanitarian law and international human rights law in the French Republic:

"The UN Charter is one of the binding documents for all UN member states, including France.



Article 2 of the UN Charter, which establishes a number of basic principles of international law, the Helsinki Final Act of 1975, and the principles established in these documents, in particular, non-interference in matters under the internal jurisdiction of states, inviolability of borders, territorial integrity of states, and basic human rights and freedoms By reminding the members of the French Senate once again of the principles of respect, it clearly demonstrates that the ideas contained in the adopted resolution are contrary to the listed principles of international law, and it clearly demonstrates France's biased and one-sided political position, which once again negatively affects the peace process and creates conditions for the violation of human rights and freedoms.

This kind of attitude of the French government towards our country, which has not expressed any opinion against Armenia, which occupied the historical lands of Azerbaijan for 30 years, is a clear example of its disrespect for human rights and freedoms.

As a result of the acts of vandalism committed by the political-military authorities of Armenia, thousands of civilians, including a large number of children and women, lost their lives or were injured, and at the same time, serious humanitarian problems arose in the region.

The resolutions of the UN Security Council on the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict were not implemented and remained on paper.

Despite all this, the Republic of Azerbaijan carried out activities aimed at reducing the tension between them and Armenia, and demanded from the countries of the world to show a right position within the framework of international law.

As the Ombudsman of Azerbaijan, my statement addressed to the international community about the war crimes committed by the military and political leadership of Armenia, the continuous contamination of our lands with mines, the lack of information from Armenia about the fate of more than four thousand missing compatriots, and other such actions that are contrary to the universal principles of international law. and the appeals have not received any response from the French government.

Along with this, the occupation of Azerbaijani lands by Armenia for nearly 30 years, the massacres committed against the civilian population, the looting of cities and villages, the cruel trampling of the rights of hundreds of thousands of internally displaced persons, Armenia's policy of ethnic cleansing in the historical lands of Azerbaijan, during the 30-year occupation and 2020- The facts regarding the contamination of our land with mines after the Patriotic War of

The world has not forgotten the violence and mass cruelty committed by France against the Algerian people.

France waged a terrible war against the Algerian people for more than a hundred years, carried out a genocidal policy, and caused the death of 1.5 million Algerians.

I would like to regretfully note that instead of learning from history, the members of the French Senate want to create new sources of conflict by inciting national religious enmity with this resolution.

I strongly condemn this resolution of the French Senate once again, and consider it a provocative step that will harm peace, stability and progress in the region, and lead to the violation of human rights and freedoms."
