“What happened in Nagorno-Karabakh is one of the most egregious examples of rights abuses that I have seen. And what’s unique about this is that it’s gone virtually under the radar for the international community. I’ve never seen such extreme rights abuses that just happen without any sort of real international response.”
That’s according to Thomas Becker, legal and policy director at the U.S.-based University Network for Human Rights, who sits down with CivilNet’s Mark Dovich to review his organization’s fact-finding, documentation, and advocacy work in Armenia and Nagorno-Karabakh. Becker discusses why the international community has been so silent about Azerbaijan’s ethnic cleansing of Nagorno-Karabakh’s Armenians — and what can be done about it.
