The attitude of the international community, which leads to the violation of the education and other fundamental rights of Artsakh children, is unacceptable - Artsakh Human Rights Defender
Artsakh human rights defender Gegham Stepanyan has sent a letter to the CE human rights commissioner, the general director of UNICEF, and other international organizations and actors involved in the protection of human rights on the occasion of the International Day of Education.
The defender referred to the humanitarian crisis caused by the blockade of Artsakh by Azerbaijan, the intentional disruptions of the important infrastructures of Artsakh, and the violation of children's education and other fundamental rights as a result.
The defender noted that the ineffective attitude shown by the international community is unacceptable, which leads to the gross violation of the education and other fundamental rights of tens of thousands of Artsakh children, and called on the mentioned organizations and actors to move from appeals and condemnations to specifically targeted steps and to adhere to the UN Children's on rights in 1989 to the principles established by the convention.
