    June 18, 2009 Summary of JIIA Forum Presentation by Elmar Mammadyarov, Minister of Foreign Affairs (Republic of Azerbaijan) “Azerbaijan at the Crossroad of East and West and Its Role in Regional Security and Prosperity” I am very grateful for having had the opportunity during my current visit to Japan to meet with the Crown Prince, Prime Minister Aso, Foreign Minister Nakasone, and other distinguished figures. In our discussions yesterday, the foreign minister and I exchanged views on the worldwide political situation and on UN reform. I informed him that Azerbaijan is in agreement with Japan on the need for UN reform and declared our support for making Japan a permanent member of the UN Security Council. On the Nagorno-Karabakh issue between Azerbaijan and Armenia, I received support for Azerbaijan’s stance on the territorial/border issue emphasizing the peace proposals put forth when the ceasefire was negotiated. Today I would like to talk about the priorities for Azerbaijan’s foreign policy: regional security and prosperity. Azerbaijan is situated at the junction of Central Asia and Europe, bordered by Russia to the north and Iran to the south, and it has access to the Caspian Sea and a wealth of energy resources. As you no doubt know, our country serves as a corridor in the southern Caucasus region for the transport of energy from Central Asia to Georgia and Turkey. Determining how to supply the natural resources our country possesses and to which international markets to supply them have become foreign policy issues. In the religious makeup of our country Muslims account for the majority, but there is toleration for other religions and Azerbaijan serves as a bridge between cultures.

  • A New Way for the Caspian Region: Cooperation and Integration
    A NEW WAY FOR THE CASPIAN REGION: COOPERATION AND INTEGRATION Azerbaijan is a pivotal state in what is emerging as the new Caspian political order. The region in one way or another connects Asia, the Middle East, Russia and Europe. As such it is the home to many civilizations; it is an energy and trade hub, and a gateway to the Far East countries, Europe, Russia and the Middle East. Caspian energy is of strategic significance for China and Europe. A trans-Caspian component to our energy development is a win-win for all. The Europe dimension is a part of Azerbaijan’s orientation. However, we are not knocking on the EU door asking for membership. This is a long-term perspective which should be considered and addressed in due time. Azerbaijan is committed to pursuing a multi-variable approach to regional development. In the end, success will depend on our ability to cooperate. Elmar Mammadyarov* * Elmar Mammadyarov is foreign minister of Azerbaijan. Introduction Energy trends in the global market have brought international attention back into the Caspian region. Following the collapse of the Soviet Union, the Caspian region was marred by conflicts, corruption and state failure. Since then much has changed. The conflicts are protracted, corruption is being dealt with and states are increasing their internal institutional and human know-how. The energy sector is booming with the help of international partners and through domestic reforms on both the east and west coasts of the Caspian Sea. The Caspian region needs a multidimensional international outlook. Azerbaijan is a pivotal state in what is emerging as the new Caspian political order.

INTRODUCTION Since the early 1990s, trafficking in persons has been among the major human rights problems in the transition countries of Central and Eastern Europe. In more recent years, however, "the focus of human traffickers ha[s] shifted to... Central Asia, a region fraught with social, political, and economic tension."' Existing research on the issue suggests that the fastest growth rates of trafficking are currently observed in the former Soviet Union, including Central Asia,2 and estimates that the region "is becoming the most important geographical source of trafficking in women in Asia."3 Further, trafficking in persons is a significant problem in the Central Asian countries of Kazakhstan, the Kyrgyz Republic, * Mohamed Y.

  • For Congress
    Order Code RL33608 The United Nations Human Rights Council: Issues for Congress Updated September 18, 2007 Luisa Blanchfield Analyst in Foreign Affairs Foreign Affairs, Defense, and Trade Division The United Nations Human Rights Council: Issues for Congress Summary On March 15, 2006, the U.N. General Assembly passed a resolution replacing the Commission on Human Rights with a new Human Rights Council (the Council). The U.N. Secretariat and some governments, including the United States, view the establishment of the Council as a key component of comprehensive U.N. reform. The Council was designed to be an improvement over the Commission, which was widely criticized for the composition of its membership when perceived human rights abusers were elected as members. The General Assembly resolution creating the Council, among other things, increases the number of meetings per year, reduces the number of Council seats from 53 to 47, and introduces a “universal periodic review” process to assess each Member State’s fulfillment of its human rights obligations. One hundred seventy countries voted in favor of the resolution to create the Council. The United States was one of four countries to vote against the resolution, stating that the Council was no better than the Commission and that it lacked mechanisms for “maintaining credible membership.” Despite these initial concerns, the Administration has said it will continue to fund and support the work of the Council. It also decided the United States would not run in the first Council elections held in May 2006. In March 2007, the State Department announced that the United States would not run for a seat in the second Council elections held in May 2007.
