‘To those still sitting at COP29, shame on you for your silence’: Lemkin Institute

“Restoring” Azerbaijani sovereignty over an ancient indigenous Armenian territory through genocide is not justice under international law, the Lemkin Institute for Genocide Prevention said in response to Azerbaijani president Ilham Aliyev’s statements at COP29.

“It’s not even legal under international law. Azerbaijan did not act alone—without Israeli military aid and the complicity and blessing of the US State Department, this would not have been possible. To those still sitting at COP29, shame on you for your silence,” the Lemkin Institute added.
