PACE and European Parliament risk credibility in Azerbaijan dispute

Azerbaijan's eradication of separatism in its sovereign territories in September 2023 and the termination of decades-long illegality was a historic event in terms of the restoration of international law. However, this reality created an unexpected shock effect for some Western institutions, especially the European Parliament (EP) and the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE). As President Ilham Aliyev emphasized in his trenchant speech at the European Political Community Summit, Azerbaijan turned UN resolutions, which had remained on paper and unexecuted for 30 years, into reality through its own strength. It is noteworthy that the activation of sanction mechanisms against Azerbaijan by these institutions just four months after this just step is an indicator of a deep moral crisis in the system of international relations.
