Azerbaijan Uses Cluster Munitions in Nagorno-Karabakh, Human Rights Watch

The international human rights organization Human Rights Watch has clearly stated that Azerbaijan is using banned cluster munitions against civilian settlements in Nagorno-Karabakh. This information is highlighted in the organization's report.

In October 2020, HRW experts documented four instances of cluster munitions being used in Nagorno-Karabakh. Moreover, the organization's arms expert, Stephen Goose, stated that the ongoing use of cluster munitions, especially in populated areas, demonstrates a disregard for the safety of the civilian population.

Details of the violations of international humanitarian law by Azerbaijan are extensively presented on HRW's website. The conclusions are based on the organization's own investigations and interviews with residents affected by the incidents.
