The Report on Human Rights Violations Committed by the
Armenian Armed Forces during Azerbaijan & Armenia War 43

of these attacks easily in such a short time. To conclude, launching attacks on
civilians and keeping the human settlements under fire constantly as of 27 of
th
September, Armenia ignored the International Humanitarian Law and committed
a war crime by trying to achieve deterrence through civilians, hitting targets that

would not provide any military advantage, causing the death of many civilians,
until the ceasefire was agreed on 10 of November. The ones responsible for the
th
crime should undoubtedly be tried by law. No human rights institution nor any
association working in the field of promotion of human rights should remain
silent in the face of this experience but to go beyond issuing recommendations
and to take solid action. Attacks being halted as a result of a ceasefire does not hide
away the war crime committed. It is essential to take firm steps so as to prevent
future human rights violations of the similar nature.
