At the High-level event to commemorate the World Water Day, held in the UN Headquarters in New York, Azerbaijan highlighted the urgency of achieving SDG 6, emphasized the Baku Dialogue on Water for Climate Action, launched under its COP29 Presidency, and outlined national efforts to enhance water security, reaffirming its commitment to sustainable water management.

Two high-level events were held on 16 March at United Nations Headquarters in New York to mark the International Day to Combat Islamophobia established by General Assembly resolution 76/254 of 15 March 2022. During deliberations, #Azerbaijan empahasized that the alarming rise of Islamophobia, including in digital spaces and through the media, require the international community’s commitment to promote social cohesion and protect religious freedom. It was further stressed that Azerbaijan had also suffered from Islamophobia. The monuments associated with the Islamic faith were subjected to deliberate vandalism, desecration and destruction in its formerly occupied territories and beyond the country’s borders. The participants were informed that Azerbaijan will host the next international conference on addressing Islamophobia later this year in Baku.

On the International Day to Combat Islamophobia, we reaffirm our firm commitment to respect, tolerance, and peaceful coexistence among cultures and religions. Islamophobia, discrimination, and hatred against individuals because of their faith undermine the very principles of human dignity, equality, and mutual understanding. Such prejudice has no place in our societies. Islam is rooted in values of peace, compassion, justice, and solidarity. Misrepresenting or stigmatizing Islam is unacceptable. Combating intolerance in all its forms remains essential to building inclusive, peaceful, and resilient societies.

United Nations (New York Headquarters):  "We're obviously very worried and concerned about the drone attack on Azerbaijani territory. It's yet another example, of another country in which this conflict is being expanded into. It is a clear violation of Azerbaijani sovereignty, and again, we urge… we do not want to see any further escalation and want to make sure international law is respected" (Spokesperson of the UN Secretary-General, 05.03.2026). "The Foreign Minister of Azerbaijan addressed a letter to the Secretary-General yesterday, which described a drone strike on Azerbaijan’s Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic. The letter is being circulated to the General Assembly and the Security Council at Azerbaijan’s request.  We also take note that the Ministers of Foreign Affairs of Iran and Azerbaijan discussed the incident yesterday. We remain deeply concerned by this incident, particularly the injuries to civilians and the damage to civilian infrastructure. The Secretary-General wishes a speedy recovery to the injured" (Spokesperson of the UN Secretary-General, 06.03.2026). "All the unlawful attacks in the Middle East and beyond are causing tremendous suffering and harm to civilians throughout the region – and pose a grave a risk to the global economy, particularly to the most vulnerable people. The situation could spiral beyond anyone’s control. It is time to stop the fighting and get to serious diplomatic negotiations. The stakes could not be higher" (UN Secretary-General, 06.03.2026).

We express our sincere gratitude for the statements of support, letters, and phone calls received from our international partners following the Iranian drone strikes against the territory of the Republic of #Azerbaijan. We highly value the solidarity shown with Azerbaijan and the clear reaffirmation of support for our country’s sovereignty, territorial integrity, and the inviolability of its borders. We thank all countries and international organisations who stood with Azerbaijan during this time and appreciate their continued support and engagement.
