In my opinion, the establishment of integration programs is an effective means for encouraging the integration of migrants and refugees. These initiatives may concentrate on different facets of integration, such as access to education and healthcare, employment support... 20/06/2023 | 19:09:32 Dear Mister Chairman and esteemed members of the Council, The issue of public health emergencies and the need for a holistic approach to multilateralism and healthcare is of utmost importance in today's interconnected world. Azerbaijan recognises the importance of a holistic approach to multilateralism and healthcare in adverting public health emergencies. The country has invested in healthcare infrastructure, including modern facilities and advanced medical equipment. The establishment of... 25/01/2023 | 17:32:33 Dear Honourable President and Esteemed Members of the Council of Europe, I would like to start by thanking Ms Zita GURMAI, Ms Petra STIENEN, and Ms Margreet De BOER for providing such a substantial and comprehensive report on this crucial subject. The entire community must work together to bring an end to violence in our communities. It is essential that men and boys be active participants in this process. For instance, the Republic of Azerbaijan regularly calls for the implementation of... 24/01/2023 | 10:59:45 Dear Honourable President, Distinguished Members of the Council, First of all, let me express my immense gratitude to Ms Petra BAYR for preparing such a detailed and substantial report on the essential issue. The elimination of gender inequality and power imbalances, as well as normative change, are necessary for the prevention of this issue. Dear Colleagues, I would like to remind you once again, the Republic of Azerbaijan experienced all the negative aspects of conflict-related sexual... 24/06/2022 | 11:53:11 Thank you, Mister President, for the floor. Today, unfortunately, we are living in a world where there are several active, ongoing armed conflicts. Sexual abuse and other human rights violations committed against women are considered inevitable during and after war times. Azerbaijan is also one of those countries that experienced all of the negative sides of the armed conflict. Over the past 30 years, thousands of Azerbaijani women have suffered or become refugees as a result of the First... 23/06/2022 | 20:05:53 (Undelivered speech, Rules of Procedure Art. 31.2) Thank you, Mr. President! First of all, I want to thank Mr. Frederick Reiss for preparing a very significant and detailed report on this issue of global concern. Initially, I want to mention that although emerging technologies, especially Artificial intelligence (AI) have the potential to be beneficial in some aspects, they also possess the potential to become a serious danger to human rights, such as free expression and media freedom... 22/06/2022 | 11:07:16 Thank you, Madam Chair. Initially I would like to thank Ms Petra BAYR for conducting such a detailed report. The global crisis triggered by the Covid-19 pandemic has caused a major increase in reports of racist and xenophobic incidents against minority groups. Although much legislation was introduced to combat any discrimination in Europe, these problems still, unfortunately, exist and there is a need for new measurements. Looking at the issue from the perspective of my home country, I would... 26/04/2022 | 19:41:54 Thank you. Dear Chair, the honorary members of the Council, I would like to note that in the autumn of 2020, Azerbaijan implemented four resolutions of the UN Security Council adopted almost 30 years ago on the liberation of Azerbaijani territories. During the 44-day war, Azerbaijan strictly adhered to the basic principles of international humanitarian law. Immediately after the end of the Second Karabakh War, Azerbaijan offered peace to Armenia. Again, I want to mention: peace to Armenia. At... 26/04/2022 | 18:32:15 Dear Madam Chair, Initially, I would like to thank Ms Selin SAYEK BÖKE for preparing such a detailed and significant report on the topic of discrimination based on social origins. Although many conventions or laws have been adopted by states, based on the reports thousands of people in the world face discrimination or unequal treatment due to their socio‑economic group or caste, which perpetuates inequality in the societies. In addition, the states which are party to the European Convention...
