Procedure 1. On 1 June 2018, the motion for a resolution on “Political prisoners in Azerbaijan” (Doc. 14538) was referred to the Committee on Legal Affairs and Human Rights for report.2 I was appointed rapporteur by the Committee at its meeting in Strasbourg on 26 June 2018. 1.2. Issues at stake 2. The issue of political prisoners in Azerbaijan has been of concern to the Council of Europe since the time of the country’s accession. Following the 2001 examination of cases by the independent experts of the Secretary General (SG/Inf(2001)34, discussed below), the Parliamentary Assembly, in its Resolution 1272 (2002) on political prisoners in Azerbaijan, reiterated that no-one may be imprisoned for political reasons in a Council of Europe member state. In its Resolution 1359 (2004), the Assembly “formally ask[ed] the government of Azerbaijan for the immediate release on humanitarian grounds of political prisoners whose state of health is very critical, prisoners whose trials were illegal, prisoners having been political activists or eminent members of past governments, and members of their families, friends or persons who were linked to them … [and] the remaining political prisoners already identified on the experts' list.” In 2005, the Assembly adopted Resolution 1457 and Recommendation 1711, recalling its previous resolutions and, inter alia, calling on the Committee of Ministers to join it in adopting a joint position on the issue of political prisoners in Azerbaijan.

During the first field trip, one individual was observed, and two individuals during the second trip for species mating were registered. Keywords: Great spotted cuckoo, Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic, mating, breeding season Introduction The Caucasus is one of the biodiversity hotspots, including Georgia, Azerbaijan (Nakhchivan AR), Armenia, and partly northern Iran (Fig. 1). According to Conservation International and WWF, this region is home to many endemic species and is one of the essential hotspot regions in terms of biodiversity (https://www.caucasus-naturefund.org/ecoregion/). The formation of the Caucasus goes back to the Oligocene age (33.7–23.8 Ma); while it was a small continental island in this period, it became a natural barrier by rising at the end of the Pliocene (5–2 Ma) (Demirsoy, 2008).

  • Azerbaijan 2020 Human Rights Report
    AZERBAIJAN 2020 HUMAN RIGHTS REPORT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The constitution provides for a republic with a presidential form of government. Legislative authority is vested in the Milli Mejlis (National Assembly). The presidency is the predominant branch of government, exceeding the judiciary and legislature. On February 9, the government conducted National Assembly elections. The election observation mission of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe concluded that the National Assembly elections and the 2018 presidential election took place within a restrictive legislative framework and political environment, which prevented genuine competition in these elections. The Ministry of Internal Affairs and the State Security Service are responsible for security within the country and report directly to the president. The Ministry of Internal Affairs oversees local police forces and maintains internal civil defense troops. The State Security Service is responsible for domestic matters, and the Foreign Intelligence Service focuses on foreign intelligence and counterintelligence matters. The State Migration Service and the State Border Service are responsible for migration and border enforcement. Civilian authorities maintained effective control over the security forces. Members of security forces committed some abuses. During 44 days of intensive fighting from September 27 to November 10 involving Azerbaijan, Armenia, and Armenia-supported separatists, significant casualties and atrocities were reported by all sides. After Azerbaijan, with Turkish support, reestablished control over four surrounding territories controlled by separatists since 1994, a Russian-brokered ceasefire arrangement announced by Azerbaijan and Armenia on November 9 resulted in the peaceful transfer of control over three additional territories to Azerbaijan, as well as the introduction of Russian peacekeepers to the region.

In modern times, the extinction of vertebrate species as a result of environmental imbalances poses a serious crisis threat. Therefore, in order to preserve the diversity of fauna, it is very important to protect their habitats and prevent the factors that affect the degradation of ecosystems. The principles of protection of vertebrate species in their natural and transformed environments make the potential for their purposeful and effective use more relevant in the future.
