Despite consistent calls from domestic and international organizations to end the cycle of arrests, releases, and rearrests, authorities have not demonstrated the will to cease the pattern of politically motivated arrests. The list was developed by the Working Group on a Unified List of Political Prisoners in Azerbaijan, which brings together human rights defenders, lawyers, journalists and experts. The list includes cases of people arrested or remaining in prison by December 2016. To develop this Report, consultations have been carried out with a number of domestic and international organizations working on the issue of political prisoners; reports of prominent human rights organizations, as well as the relevant documents of international organizations that Azerbaijan is a member of and has commitments to – particularly, Council of Europe – have been examined; media monitoring has been carried out; trial monitoring has been conducted; court judgments and other relevant legal documents have been analyzed; and meetings and interviews were held with the lawyers, families and defence committees of the political prisoners included in this Report. The Report reflects detailed information about each political prisoner, including the original motives behind their arrest, the violations of law committed during the process of their arrest/detention, and photos of political prisoners (though photos of some of the prisoners were not available). Cases included in the report are divided into the following categories: A. Journalists and bloggers B. Writers/poets C. Human rights defenders D. Political and social activists E. Religious activists F. Lifetime prisoners G. Persons arrested in the relation to social protests H. Former government officials I. Political hostages J. Said Dadashbayli and those arrested with him Some categories are divided into subcategories, which are detailed in the report. INFORMATION FROM THIS REPORT CAN ONLY BE USED WITH ATTRIBUTION TO THIS DOCUMENT AND THE 4 WORKING GROUP ON “A UNIFIED LIST OF POLITICAL PRISONERS IN AZERBAIJAN” A UNIFIED LIST OF POLITICAL PRISONERS IN AZERBAIJAN Covering the period up to 28 August 2017 THE DEFINITION OF POLITICAL PRISONERS This Report has been developed on the basis of the criteria set by the Parliamentary Assembly of Council of Europe Resolution 1900 of 3 October 2012.1 A person deprived of his or her personal liberty is regarded as a ‘political prisoner’: a. if the detention has been imposed in violation of one of the fundamental guarantees set out in the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms and its Protocols, in particular freedom of thought, conscience and religion, freedom of expression and information, freedom of assembly and association; b. if the detention has been imposed for purely political reasons without connection to any offence; c. if, for political motives, the length of the detention or its conditions are clearly out of proportion to the offence the person has been found guilty of or is suspected of; d. if, for political motives, he or she is detained in a discriminatory manner as compared to other persons; or, e. if the detention is the result of proceedings which were clearly unfair and this appears to be connected with political motives of the authorities.” In this resolution, PACE recalls that the definition of “political prisoner” was elaborated within the Council of Europe by the independent experts of the Secretary General, mandated to assess cases of alleged political prisoners in Armenia and Azerbaijan in the context of the accession of the two States to the Organisation. Those deprived of their personal liberty for terrorist crimes shall not be considered political prisoners if they have been prosecuted and sentenced for such crimes according to national legislation and the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms. In the Report, Amnesty International has been referred to in the cases of those recognized as a prisoner of conscience in line with the criteria of this organization.2 1 http://bit.ly/1piq992 2 http://bit.ly/18KQFUz INFORMATION FROM THIS REPORT CAN ONLY BE USED WITH ATTRIBUTION TO THIS DOCUMENT AND THE 5 WORKING GROUP ON “A UNIFIED LIST OF POLITICAL PRISONERS IN AZERBAIJAN” A UNIFIED LIST OF POLITICAL PRISONERS IN AZERBAIJAN Covering the period up to 28 August 2017 A.

  • State Programme on Poverty Reduction and Economic Development 2003-2005 Azerbaijan Progresses Toward the Achievement of the Mill
    STATE PROGRAMME ON POVERTY REDUCTION AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT 2003-2005 AZERBAIJAN PROGRESSES TOWARD THE ACHIEVEMENT OF THE MILLENNIUM DEVELOPMENT GOALS PROGRESS REPORT – 2003/2004 BAKU – 2005 DECREE OF THE PRESIDENT OF THE REPUBLIC OF AZERBAIJAN on Approval of the State Programme on Poverty Reduction and Economic Development in the Republic of Azerbaijan for 2003-2005 The consistent reform program carried out in the Republic of Azerbaijan in recent years has helped to ensure economic development, gradual improvement of macroeconomic performance and improvement of the living standards in the country. Thus, in the period 1996-2002, Gross Domestic Product increased by 1.7 times, capital investment increased by 7.8 times, nominal monetary income of population increased by 3 times and average monthly wages and pensions increased by 5 times. There are improvements in other economic performance indicators. However, these ongoing efforts and achievements have not yet led to a sufficiently high level of economic development and the living standards of the population have still not reached international standards: part of population is still unemployed, minimum wages are not sufficient to meet the minimum subsistence level and a number of factors causing poverty have not been eliminated. In order to further strengthen social protection of the population for the near future, ensure poverty reduction in the country and implement necessary measures to meet the commitments of the 2000 United Nations Millennium Summit, I hereby decree: 1. The “State Program on Poverty Reduction and Economic Development in the Republic of Azerbaijan for 2003-2005” shall be approved. 2. The Ministry of Economic Development of the Republic of Azerbaijan shall be responsible for coordinating the implementation of measures set out in the State Program.

  • Azerbaijan 2015 Human Rights Report
    AZERBAIJAN 2015 HUMAN RIGHTS REPORT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Azerbaijani constitution provides for a republic with a presidential form of government. Legislative authority is vested in the Milli Mejlis. The president dominated the executive, legislative, and judicial branches of government. The Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights (ODIHR) canceled its observation of the November 1 legislative elections when the government refused to accept ODIHR’s recommended number of election monitors. Without ODIHR observation, it was impossible to assess fully the conduct of the Parliamentary election; independent local and international monitors alleged irregularities throughout the country. The 2013 presidential election did not meet a number of key OSCE standards for democratic elections. Separatists, with Armenia’s support, continued to control most of Nagorno-Karabakh and seven other Azerbaijani territories, and 622,892 persons reportedly remained internally displaced in December 2014 as a result of the unresolved conflict. There was an increase in violence along the Line of Contact and the Armenia-Azerbaijan border. Military actions throughout the year resulted in the highest number of deaths in one year since the signing of the 1994 ceasefire agreement, including six confirmed civilian casualties. Civilian authorities maintained effective control over Azerbaijani security forces. The most significant human rights problems during the year included: 1. Increased government restrictions on freedoms of expression, assembly, and association that were reflected in the intimidation, incarceration on questionable charges, and use of force against human rights defenders, activists, journalists, and some of their relatives. The operating space for activists and nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) remained severely constrained.
