Abstract:

In January, the Council of Europe (CoE) excluded Azerbaijani delegates from the work of its main plenary body, the Parliamentary Assembly (PA), for one year, citing serious violations of human rights and the organisation’s principles. This was followed by announcements from Azeri authorities that if this decision was not reversed, Azerbaijan could leave the CoE altogether. The organisation should not give way to blackmail from any member, but it would be advisable to try to seek a solution to reduce tensions between it and Azerbaijan. The country’s departure from the CoE would in practice make it impossible for its people and the citizens of other countries harmed by it to seek protection of their rights and compensation before the European Court of Human Rights.
