As COP29 approaches, we reiterate our call that there can be no climate justice without human rights, and there can be no human rights without climate justice.
Our full fact-finding report on Nagorno-Karabakh outlines the routes used by ethnic Armenians to flee the territory in 2023, often navigating active bombardment and damage to communications and transportation infrastructure. Dive deeper into our research: freedomhouse.org/report/special…
The @spectator writes, "n the near three-decade history of the annual round of UN climate conferences, the Baku Cop29 stands out. (...) Being an oil producer did not disqualify Dubai from skilfully running last year’s Cop. But the brutal ethnic cleansing of Nagorno-Karabakh last year and President Ilham Aliyev’s long-standing denial of the Armenian genocide proved too much even for a UN climate conference where white-washing and hypocrisy are the order of the day." #COP29 #StopGreenwashGenocide #FreeArmenianHostages
cbc.ca/news/canada/mo… "It's been a little over a year that 120,000 people were completely stripped of their right to live in their homeland. However, Azerbaijan, by hosting a climate conference, is choosing to instead focus on what it claims to be its qualifications as a champion of climate change and environmental issues," said Talia Jabrayan, a member of the Armenian Youth Federation of Canada. #COP29 #COP29Exposed
Azerbaijani 'NGO' reps accosted US Rep. Pallone arriving in Baku for #COP29. They swarmed him and yelled that he was bought by the "ermeni lobby" and should be deported. AZ police just watched, because this wasn't a real protest; this was AZ gov-orchestrated harassment.
As an "independent NGO", we must respond to @presidentaz. "Restoring" Azerbaijani sovereignty over an ancient indigenous Armenian territory through genocide is NOT justice under international law. It’s not even LEGAL under international law. #Azerbaijan did not act alone—without Israeli military aid and the complicity and blessing of the US State Department, this would not have been possible. To those still sitting at #COP29, shame on you for your silence.
🌍 2024 marks the third year in a row that #COP is hosted by an authoritarian petrostate. As #COP29 kicks off in Baku, it’s vital that the international community use this year's conference to highlight its host's abysmal human rights record. More: freedomhouse.org/country/azerba…
Even as Azerbaijan’s Aliyev regime enriches itself & jails journalists, the country’s ruling elite is doing its best to charm the world’s politicians + diplomats. Their latest success: Baku is hosting the world’s premier climate change conference, #COP29.occrp.org/en/project/kno…
Alors que la plupart des dirigeants européens ont décidé de boycotter la COP29 et de ne pas participer à cette mascarade, Charles Michel, le Président du Conseil européen continue de jouer le jeu de l’Azerbaïdjan. #boycottCOP29 #FreeArmenianHostages
🗣️"By dangling the prospect of sponsorship with #COP29 we were able to get high-level access to talk about oil and gas deals, going against not just the very ethics of COP but the entire spirit of what it's there to do" Our co-director of campaigns @DominicKavakeb on @bbcnews
