  1. “Those crimes are not isolated or sporadic acts, but were part of Armenia's deliberate, widespread and systematic policy, its practice of committing atrocities, rooted in ideas of racial superiority, ethnic differentiation and an expansionist policy. The documents adopted by the international organizations implicitly refer to the crimes committed by Armenia as a blatant breach of international humanitarian law. In 1993, resolution 853 (1993) in particular condemned attacks on civilians and bombardments of inhabited areas, and expressed grave concern at the displacement of large numbers of civilians on the territory of the Republic of Azerbaijan.”

  2. “The direct deliberate targeting of civilians is a blatant violation of international humanitarian law by Armenia, which continues to commit war crimes under international criminal law. Unfortunately, that is not a new phenomenon. During the ongoing aggression against Azerbaijan, Armenia has committed numerous crimes, including indiscriminate attacks against, and killing of, civilians, hostage taking and detention, inhumane treatment, execution, the capture of war prisoners, taking of hostages and ethnic cleansing of the occupied territories. The most heinous of them is the massacre of the civilian population of the town of Hodjali, in which 100 persons died, including children, women and the elderly.”

  3. “I thank you, Mr. President, for giving me the floor to respond to the statement made by the delegation of Armenia. Armenia's statement was full of distortions and misinterpretations, which we utterly reject. It is yet another attempt by Armenia to mislead the international community, divert attention from its responsibility arising from the occupation, mass atrocities and other policies it pursues in violation of international humanitarian law and human rights law. I would like to draw the Council's attention to the fact that, on 1 September 2015, Armenian forces, from their position in the occupied territories of the Republic ofAzerbaijan, opened fire and, with full precision, they targeted a wedding ceremony in Gapanly village in Terter district. Three civilians, including one child, were wounded.”

  4. “We look forward to the high-level review on implementation and cooperation with interested States, UN-Women and other relevant entities in the process of the preparation of the global study. In conclusion, I would like once again to commend the delegation of Jordan for convening this important open debate.”

  5. “At the national level, Azerbaijan has launched regional projects, such as Women for Conflict Prevention and Peacebuilding in the Southern Caucasus, aimed at strengthening advocacy work calling for strengthening the role of women in decision-making with regard to conflict prevention and resolution at the national, regional and international levels. Such initiatives can be instrumental to the promotion of a culture of peace and cooperation among interested actors. Azerbaijan remains committed to the implementation of the resolutions on the subject and is pleased to have made a contribution to the work of the Council during its presidency in October 2013, including the adoption of resolution 2122 (2013).”

  6. “Measures that are more resolute and targeted are now required to end impunity in such situations. Commitments to protection efforts must be free of selectivity and politically motivated approaches and preferences. In that regard, we note the role played by the Special Representative of the Secretary- General on Sexual Violence in Conflict pursuant to her mandate. The involvement of women in peace and security should be seen as one of the central elements that can support conflict prevention and underpin long- term stability. We look forward to the 2015 high-level review in October and the outcomes of the global study on the implementation ofresolution 1325 (2000). In that regard, Azerbaijan appreciates the work of UN-Women and its professional team and stands ready to contribute to the review process.”

  7. “Azerbaijan reiterates its strong condemnation of all acts of sexual Violence committed against women and girls in situations of armed conflict. There can be no tolerance for such acts, and all necessary measures must be taken to bring the perpetrators to justice and put an end to impunity. We note in that regard the efforts of the Team of Experts on the Rule of Law and Sexual Violence in Conflict, which was established pursuant to resolution 1888 (2009), aimed at strengthening the capacity of national actors with regard to the rule of law and justice. Unfortunately, not all grave violations of international humanitarian and human rights law, including acts of sexual violence, have received due attention and a response at the international and regional levels.”

  8. “I wish to thank you, Madam President, for convening today's open debate on women and peace and security with a focus on sexual violence in conflict. Our appreciation also goes to the Special Representative of the Secretary-General on Sexual Violence in Conflict and the representative of the NGO Working Group on Women, Peace and Security for their insightful statements. In the context of armed conflict, parties should ensure respect for the obligation under international humanitarian and human-rights law to protect innocent civilians, especially women and girls, who continue to suffer from rape, sexual slavery, forced prostitution, forced pregnancy and other forms of sexual violence. The continued practice of using gender-based violence as a tactic of war is legally and morally unacceptable.”
