Naciones Unidas A/70/844–S/2016/375 Asamblea General Distr. general 26 de abril de 2016 Consejo de Seguridad Español Original: inglés Asamblea General Consejo de Seguridad Septuagésimo período de sesiones Septuagésimo primer año Temas 35 y 40 del programa Los conflictos prolongados en la zona del Grupo GUAM y sus repercusiones en la paz, la seguridad y el desarrollo internacionales La situación en los territorios ocupados de Azerbaiyán Carta de fecha 22 de abril de 2016 dirigida al Secretario General por el Representante Permanente de Azerbaiyán ante las Naciones Unidas Tengo el honor de señalar a su atención los hechos que demuestran la responsabilidad directa de Armenia por la ocupación de los territorios de la República de Azerbaiyán. Como ya le hemos comunicado (véase A/70/694-S/2016/63), la República de Armenia sigue desplegando sus unidades militares en los territorios ocupados de la República de Azerbaiyán y prestando apoyo al régimen separatista en la región de Nagorno Karabaj de la República de Azerbaiyán, en particular al denominado “Ejército de Defensa de Nagorno Karabaj”. El Gobierno de Armenia niega que los soldados de las fuerzas armadas de la República de Armenia hayan combatido y muerto en los territorios ocupados de la República de Azerbaiyán. Sin embargo, alrededor del 80% de los soldados que resultaron muertos durante la provocación militar a gran escala cometida por Armenia recientemente provenían de este país. Se adjunta la lista de soldados (véase el anexo). La lista no es exhaustiva, dado que es práctica habitual de los funcionarios gubernamentales de Armenia ocultar el número de soldados muertos en acción. -

Call on International Human Rights Community to Raise Voice Against
Call on International Human Rights Community to raise voice against atrocities committed by Azerbaijan Despite commitment to solve the conflict around Nagorno-Karabakh in a peaceful manner, on 27 September 2020 Azerbaijan launched a widespread aggression against the Artsakh Republic (the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic). With Turkish military support and incitement[1] – it is well established that Turkish F-16 fighter planes and Turkish military personnel are in Azerbaijan[2] as well as thousands of jihadist terrorist mercenaries recruited by Turkey from Syria and transferred to Azerbaijan, Azerbaijani armed forces targeted densely populated settlements, including such cities as cities Martuni, Martakert, Hadrut, Shushi and the capital Stepanakert. Choice of means and methods of warfare by parties to an armed conflict is not unlimited. Each party to the conflict must take all feasible precautions in the choice of means and methods of warfare with a view to avoiding, and in any event to minimizing, incidental loss of civilian life, injury to civilians and damage to civilian objects. Indiscriminate attacks are prohibited both under treaty and customary international humanitarian law (IHL). As documented by the Ombudspersons of Armenia and Artsakh as well as journalists of numerous international and national media outlets working on the ground, Azerbaijani armed forces deployed weapons of indiscriminative nature as well as unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) deliberately targeting the civilian objects and population, Cluster munitions prohibited under IHL were used against civilian objects and the civil population, especially in Stepanakert, also contaminating the area with unexploded ordnance, and posing addition risks for the civil population.[3] More than 670 unexploded ordnance, including bomblets and submunitions, from cluster munitions were found only in Stepanakert and surrounding territories.[4] Azerbaijan armed forces utilized heavy weaponry, such as multiple rocket launchers “Smerch” and “Grad” against the civilian objects and civilians. -
