Ambassador @TofigMusayev, Permanent Representative of the Republic of Azerbaijan to the United Nations, addressed the plenary meeting of the 81st session of the @UN General Assembly under agenda item 72, "Report of the International Court of Justice".
He stressed the Court’s important contribution to upholding the rule of law and its central role in the peaceful settlement of international disputes, while underscoring that recourse to the ICJ cannot substitute for States’ obligations under international law, particularly with regard to respect for sovereignty and territorial integrity and the fight against impunity for serious violations.
Judicial mechanisms should not be instrumentalized for purposes unrelated to the proper administration of justice, nor should judicial proceedings be reduced to instruments of political contestation. The Court’s findings should neither be selectively invoked nor misrepresented to serve propaganda or disinformation, or to deflect attention from responsibility for serious violations of international law, whether or not they fall within the Court’s jurisdiction.

Honoured to have been received by President Ilham Aliyev @presidentaz of the Republic of Azerbaijan. I expressed appreciation for his continued support for @UNAOC and his commitment to advancing intercutural dialogue and fostering mutual understanding.
During the #UNGA81 #FirstCommittee thematic discussions on #disarmamentmachinery, #Azerbaijan emphasised that the #UNDC remains a vital component of the international disarmament architecture, serving as a dedicated platform for substantive, in-depth deliberations on key disarmament challenges.
It also commended the work of #UNODA for its continued support for multilateral disarmament processes as well as its assistance to Member States in fulfilling their relevant obligations and commitments, and #UNIDIR for its efforts to facilitate discussions on existing and emerging challenges to international security.
Through sustained political will and constructive engagement, the disarmament machinery can fulfil its respective mandates more effectively and contribute to tangible progress in disarmament and international security.

During the interactive dialogue with the Chair of the Committee on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities and the Special Rapporteur on the rights of persons with disabilities at the #3C of the #UNGA, #Azerbaijan underscored that its state policy on disabilities is guided by the principles of inclusivity, integration, equality, non-discrimination, and respect for the characteristics of persons with disabilities.
The statement highlighted that, as a result of the reforms undertaken in recent years, negative connotations have been removed from legislative acts, disability governance has been modernised through digital transformation, and Azerbaijani Sign Language has been officially recognised.
The nexus between landmines, ERWs and IEDs, and acquired disability was highlighted, while stressing the importance of international solidarity and support to prevent disability, particularly by strengthening national mine-action efforts.
During the #UNGA81 #FirstCommittee thematic discussions on other disarmament measures and international security, #Azerbaijan highlighted that #ICTs continue to transform societies, creating significant opportunities for sustainable development, economic growth, innovation and enhanced connectivity, while supporting the delivery of essential public services, including in the fields of healthcare and education.
It was emphasised that malicious ICT activities continue to increase in frequency, scale and sophistication, with the potential to affect critical infrastructure, critical information infrastructure and essential services, undermine trust and confidence, spread misinformation and disinformation, and generate consequences that extend beyond national borders.
In this regard, particular attention was given to the importance of strengthening international cooperation and advancing practical measures to reduce risks, enhance resilience, and support the secure, stable, accessible, peaceful, and interoperable use of ICTs.
Azerbaijan commends the efforts aimed at maintaining and fostering an open, secure, stable, accessible, peaceful, and interoperable environment for information and communications technology.
During the interactive dialogue with the Special Rapporteur on freedom of religion or belief at the #3C of the #UNGA, #Azerbaijan reaffirmed that the effective realization of freedom of religion or belief is a cornerstone of stable societies in which mutual understanding, tolerance and respect can thrive.
It was stressed that, rather than including groundless allegations in her report (A/81/376) submitted to the session, the Special Rapporteur should have referred to Azerbaijan in the context of the 30-year occupation of its territories, during which religious heritage of universal value, including monuments associated with the Islamic faith, was deliberately destroyed and annihilated. In particular, at least 65 mosques were razed to the ground, while cemeteries were desecrated and looted on a widespread scale.
The statement underscored that the continued silence of the Special Rapporteur on these documented violations, coupled with the inclusion of unverified information in her report, raises serious questions regarding the impartiality and objectivity of her reporting.
In this regard, it was emphasized that mandate holders must discharge their functions objectively and impartially, without outside interference of any kind, in accordance with HRC resolution 5/2 of 18 June 2007, entitled “Code of Conduct for Special Procedures Mandate-Holders.”
