The mountainous region has been part of Azerbaijan since the fall of the Russian Empire.
Today’s hearings at the Peace Palace in The Hague are the latest in a long-running legal battle between rivals Armenia and Azerbaijan.
The one-day operation sparked a mass exodus of ethnic Armenians, with the vast majority of the estimated 120,000 who had been living in the territory fleeing into Armenia. It also called on the court to ensure Azerbaijan “refrain from taking any actions…having the effect of displacing the remaining ethnic Armenians…or preventing the safe and expeditious return” of refugees.
Both countries have accused the other of breaching a UN treaty, the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination. The mountainous region of Nagorno-Karabakh was populated mainly by Armenians and has been part of Azerbaijan since the fall of the Russian Empire.
