Luis Moreno Ocampo, a former prosecutor of the International Criminal Court, urged the U.S. to take immediate steps to stop Azerbaijan's ongoing genocide against Artsakh's (Nagorno-Karabakh) Armenian population.

In a powerful testimony submitted to the U.S. Congress Tom Lantos Human Rights Commission on Wednesday, he stated "there's no doubt that the genocidal intentions are there”, referring to Azerbaijan’s 260+ day blockade of the Lachin Corridor in Nagorno-Karabakh.

"You have to prevent that genocide. Stop the one already happening and prevent the one who is coming,” Ocampo said.

"President Biden or Secretary Blinken can officially tell Mr. Aliyev to remove tomorrow, unconditionally, the blockade of the Lachin Corridor, or we consider you responsible for genocide. [...] And, of course, that will trigger a lot of consequences,” he warned.
