Within the framework of the project, Law Development and Protection Foundation studied the crimes against the environment committed by Azerbaijan during the war, the use of incendiary weapons, violations of private, family life and property rights. The director of the foundation Genya Petrosyan emphasized that during the fact-finding mission some of the respondents mentioned that they had personally witnessed the use of incendiary weapons or felt the consequences. “Seven respondents were aware of cases in which civilians received burns as a result of the use of incendiary weapons. A gross violation of the right to privacy and family life is the absence of an opportunity to visit the graves and burial sites of relatives as a result of the war, as well as the destruction, damage and/or desecration of the graves and memorial monuments. According to evidence collected during the fact-finding mission, children experienced feelings of constant fear after the bombings, tremors, fear of darkness, lack of desire to eat, nausea, in specific cases problems with memory, fainting, as well as depression, silence, lack of desire to communicate” – noted Genya Petrosyan.
