Azerbaijan calls on Armenia to share accurate information on landmines

Azerbaijan calls on the Armenian side to respect its obligations under international human right and humanitarian law and share accurate information on landmines massively planted on the territory of Azerbaijan during the occupation, Azerbaijan's Foreign Ministry said in a post on X, according to Report.

The post noted that the resolution "The Impact of Anti-Personnel Mines on the Full Enjoyment of All Human Rights" adopted on International Day for Mine Awareness and Assistance in Mine Action paves the way for taking global mine action to historically new level through recognizing and restoring affected human rights of millions of land mine victims globally.

"We also underscore importance of the call in the resolution upon States “to cooperate effectively to address the impact of anti-personnel mines on the protection and promotion of all human rights by, inter alia, accelerating demining efforts," the post reads, adding that fulfillment of this call as well as obligations under humanitarian law requires State to also share accurate information to help mapping the landmine planted areas, which is instrumental for protection of civilian population in particular in post-conflict settings.

"In this regard we once again call on Armenian side to respect its obligations under international human right and humanitarian law and share accurate information on land mines massively planted on the territory of Azerbaijan during the occupation," the post reads.
