This includes Armenia’s efforts to stop internally displaced Azerbaijanis from returning to their homes. Evidence shows Armenia has planted 1,300 landmines in liberated territories such as Lachin, since the Trilateral Statement of 10 November 2020 – preventing safe return. (2/5)
The Court’s decision not to revisit its prior conclusion that Armenia’s placement of landmines does not meet the requirements for the issuance of provisional measures is not a decision on the merits, and Azerbaijan will continue to seek to hold Armenia to account.
