The International Court of Justice, the principal judicial organ of the United Nations, will hold public hearings in the case concerning Application of the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination (Armenia v. Azerbaijan) on Monday 30 January 2023, at the Peace Palace in The Hague, the seat of the court.

The hearings will be devoted to the request for the indication of provisional measures submitted by Armenia on 27 December 2022, the court said in a statement on Friday.

In its request, Armenia stated that “on 12 December 2022, Azerbaijan orchestrated a blockade of the only road connecting the 120,000 ethnic Armenians in Nagorno-Karabakh with the outside world, thereby preventing anyone and anything from entering or exiting.”

Also, the UN court will hold public hearings on the request for the indication of provisional measures submitted by Azerbaijan in the case Azerbaijan v. Armenia on Tuesday 31.
