International Court of Justice Reaffirms Decision on Lachin

On July 6, 2023, the International Court of Justice issued a ruling regarding the case of Armenia v. Azerbaijan, which is being examined under the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination. This ruling addresses Armenia's request for the clarification of the interim measures order issued on February 22, 2023, concerning the establishment of a checkpoint by Azerbaijan in the Lachin corridor.

According to information from the Office of the Representative of Armenia on International Legal Matters, the Court reaffirmed its February 22, 2023 decision, which obligated Azerbaijan to take all necessary measures to ensure the unimpeded movement of individuals, vehicles, and cargo in both directions through the Lachin corridor. The Court determined that there is currently no need to supplement its February 22, 2023 decision.
