Today it’s already been the 75th day, Artsakh has been under blockade.
As we know, in such tough times the ICJ delivered its Order on February
22, 2023: In respect of Armenia’s request for the indication of
provisional measures, the Court observed that, since 12 December 2022,
the connection between Nagorno-Karabakh and Armenia via the Lachin
Corridor has been disrupted.
The disruption on the Lachin Corridor has impeded the transfer of
persons of Armenian national or ethnic origin hospitalized in
Nagorno-Karabakh to medical facilities in Armenia for urgent medical
care, there have been hindrances to the importation into
Nagorno-Karabakh of essential goods, causing shortages of food, medicine
and other life-saving medical supplies.
The Court consequently satisfied the request of Armenia on indicating
provisional measures and obliged Azerbaijan: pending the final decision
in the case of Armenia v. Azerbaijan to take all measures at its
disposal to ensure unimpeded movement of persons, vehicles and cargo
along the Lachin Corridor in both directions.
In accordance with the Article 59 of the Statute of the International
Court of Justice, the Decision of the Court has binding force for the
parties and in respect of that particular case.
Article 60 envisages that the judgment is final and without appeal.
Azerbaijan, however, blatantly violates even the key provisions of the
Charter of the principal judicial organ of the United Nations:
Already almost 2 days have passed since ICJ’s mentioned Decision but
Azerbaijan commits another crime not guaranteeing the unimpeded movement
of persons, vehicles and cargo along the Lachin Corridor in both
directions.
I have urgently addressed all of my international colleagues alarming
on the current situation and requesting in the framework of their
mandate:
Contribute to the implementation of the ICJ’s Decision on indicating
provisional measures;
Present the implemented or future steps on the mentioned matter.
