The fact finding report thoroughly presents the war crimes committed by Azerbaijan against the people of Artsakh, the violations of international humanitarian law and human rights, that took place in the fall of 2020 during the 44-day war unleashed by Azerbaijan.
The evidence presented in the report is based on careful collection and thorough analysis of data from multiple sources of information. Within the scope of the works the fact-finding group visited Artsakh, documented the destructions and human rights violations. Meetings were held with over 800 witnesses of the war, reported and unreported cases of violence were investigated.
The purpose of the fact-finding project is to provide an opportunity for the facts to speak, to identify and analyze violations of the human rights committed by Azerbaijan during the war, to present these violations to the local and international community and to provide state, non-state and international organizations with facts that can be used when talking about violations of international humanitarian law by Azerbaijan.
The report presents the recommendations of civil society organizations addressed to the Government of the Republic of Armenia, the National Assembly of the Republic of Armenia, the United Nations, the Council of Europe, the OSCE, the European Union, other international and regional organizations, and states.
The organizations that authored the report aim to disseminate the fact-finding report on international platforms to contribute to the restoration of justice and the process of holding Azerbaijan accountable for war crimes.
