ICJ to Rule on Racial Discrimination Cases Between Armenia and Azerbaijan

THE HAGUE, Netherlands (ChatnewsTV) — The International Court of Justice (ICJ) is set to deliver crucial judgments on November 12 in two high-stakes cases involving Armenia and Azerbaijan, both alleging racial discrimination under the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination.

The cases stem from mutual accusations filed in 2021, with Armenia and Azerbaijan each alleging that the other country committed racially motivated violations amid a backdrop of ongoing regional conflict. The ICJ will first address Armenia’s objections to Azerbaijan’s claims, followed by a ruling on Azerbaijan’s objections to Armenia’s allegations later the same day.

“These rulings mark a significant moment in international law and diplomacy as both nations seek accountability for alleged human rights abuses,” ICJ spokesperson Monique Legerman said.

Azerbaijan initiated its case in September 2021, accusing Armenia of racially discriminatory practices. In response, Armenia filed a similar claim, asserting that Azerbaijan engaged in racially charged violations. Both nations raised objections in April 2023, challenging the ICJ’s jurisdiction to adjudicate their respective cases. The upcoming judgments will determine if the court will proceed to address the cases on their merits.

The judgments will be delivered by ICJ President Judge Nawaf Salam in a public session at the Peace Palace in The Hague, with live streaming available for international viewing.
