CoE's Mijatović urges Yerevan, Baku to ensure focus on human rights protection
Council of Europe Commissioner for Human Rights Dunja Mijatović calls on the Armenian and Azerbaijani authorities to ensure focus on human rights protection in their peace talks.
Mijatović presented her annual report for 2023 before PACE on Monday.
Following her visit to Armenia, Azerbaijan and Nagorno-Karabakh (Artsakh) in October last year, she urges Yerevan and Baku to establish strong human rights safeguards for all persons affected by the conflict.
"I stressed that effective human rights protection of all persons affected by the conflict over the Karabakh region is key to the success of the peace process," Mijatović says in her report.
