Dunja Mijatović expresses readiness to travel to Artsakh

I remain seriously concerned about the humanitarian
situation in Nagorno-Karabakh and the human rights of its population following
the blocking of the road running through the Lachin Corridor. Council of Europe
Commissioner for Human Rights Dunja Mijatović made a statement on this.

“The relevant stakeholders should immediately find a
solution to avoid any further deterioration of the very dangerous situation the
local population is facing and guarantee safe and free passage to those
providing humanitarian assistance and those ensuring human rights protection.
As indicated in my 2021 Memorandum, efforts should be made by Armenia and
Azerbaijan to move forward on the path towards reconciliation and ensure
lasting peace for all people.

I confirm my commitment and readiness to engage with all the relevant
interlocutors and to travel to Nagorno-Karabakh to assist in overcoming the
existing human rights challenges,” reads the statement.
