My contribution: The blockade of the Lachin Corridor by the Azerbaijani security forces is a Genocide against the Armenians of Nagorno-Karabakh.

Killing civilians in Gaza could be investigated as war crimes and crimes against humanity by the International Criminal Court. Israel's answer to Hamas crimes should not be a pogrom in Gaza.
"The US didn't simply turn a blind eye to Azerbaijan’s attempts to impose its will on the Armenian people through starvation and force—it repeatedly emboldened and legitimized Azerbaijan's coercive diplomacy by refusing to hold Azerbaijan accountable"
Azerbaijan has closed the only road into Nagorno-Karabakh, a home to ethnic Armenians, restricting the movement of food and medicine for roughly 120,000 people. “We should not accept a new Armenian genocide in 2023,” says

Statement by Luis Moreno Ocampo - Former Chief Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court.
Since December '22, starvation has been the silent weapon in committing genocide against 120,000 Armenians in Nagorno-Karabakh. Today a
new genocidal method was added: bombing. Thread🧵
Mendez, the first Special Advisor to the UN Secretary-General on the Prevention of Genocide, wrote in his report "sufficient reason to proffer an early warning to the international community that the population of Artsakh – Nagorno Karabakh is at risk of mass atrocities."
American Armenians provided voice and representation to the Armenians from Nagorno-Karabakh. Congressman Chris Smith called an urgent hearing of the Tom Lantos Human Rights Commission
‘They want us to die in the streets’: inside the Nagorno-Karabakh blockade. Residents of Armenian enclave believe Azerbaijan’s plan is clear: to starve them into submission

Azerbaijan’s unacceptable military actions risk worsening the humanitarian situation in Nagorno-Karabakh. We call for immediate end to hostilities and for direct dialogue.
EXCLUSIVE:

and Dr. Eric Esrailian write about how it’s time for America (and the world) to take action to protect Armenians from Azerbaijan.
Armenia has called on the Security Council to take a more proactive approach to facilitating unhindered humanitarian access to the Nagorno-Karabakh region, including by sending an international mission to monitor the Lachin corridor.

The full blockade of the only free corridor to provide food, medicine, and other life essentials to the Armenians living in Nagorno-Karabakh already inflicted the conditions.
Israel's answer to Hamas crimes should not be a pogrom in Gaza. Justice is the way to control crimes. Israel should not accelerate into the world disorder abyss.

The 153 states parties of the Genocide Convention are committed to prevent and punish genocide. The priority now is to end the genocide already committed under II (c) by removing the blockade on the Lachin Corridor, and to prevent new genocides through acts of killing.
The crime is carefully defined by Article II of the Genocide Convention, including five different underlying acts. 'Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction' is under (c).
"Nations must mobilize to prevent a

Azerbaijani President Aliyev must end this inhumane blockade of the Nagorno-Karabakh that has prevented the delivery of food and medical supplies and led to the troubling detention of Armenian students.
To issue arrest warrants, the ICC judges will analyze whether there are "reasonable grounds to believe that the person has committed a crime within the jurisdiction of the Court," a lower threshold than the one required at trial to convict the person.
The law does not require the actual “destruction,” it is enough “inflicting” conditions “to bring about” the “physical destruction.” Genocide under II (c) is already committed.
La CJI decidió. Fue dura: hay un inminente riesgo de genocidio, 1.7 millones de Palestinos desplazados, 93% sufriendo hambre. Pero le dio a Israel una oportunidad de adecuarse. Tiene que presentar un informe en un mes.

Starving, displacing, and killing civilians in Gaza is a criminal answer to Hamas crimes. It will also expose the lives of more than 160 Israeli hostages, Israel’s officers could be prosecuted, and will trigger massive revenge.
It is still possible to prevent other forms of genocide, like (a) Killing members of the group; and (b) Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group.

How do we protect at the same time Israeli hostages and Palestinians in Gaza? Military operations produce more killings and trigger the duty of revenge, not justice. It is the time for a new strategy: to prosecute leaders.
