The annual OSCE Human Rights Conference in Warsaw, Poland, continues with its second day of discussions. The event, which started on October 6 and will run until October 17, has brought together hundreds of diplomats, human rights defenders, journalists, and civil society representatives from various countries. The main goal of the conference is to strengthen the principles of human rights, freedoms, security, and international justice.
This year’s agenda focuses on major global issues such as the peace process in the South Caucasus, the war in Ukraine, the humanitarian crisis in the Middle East, and violations of international law.
Speaking live to ARB24 Television from Warsaw, Azerbaijani human rights defender Ahmad Shahidov said that the Azerbaijani delegation is actively participating in the conference and plans to deliver several speeches during the plenary sessions: “Azerbaijan stands on this platform as a defender of peace, justice, and human rights. We will share our views on achieving lasting peace in the South Caucasus, normalizing Azerbaijan–Armenia relations, and the importance of the peace agreement reached with the mediation of the United States.”
Ahmad Shahidov also noted that topics such as the war in Ukraine, the humanitarian catastrophe in the Middle East, and India’s aggressive policies in South Asia will also be reflected in the Azerbaijani delegation’s speeches: “This conference is an important dialogue platform for human rights defenders from different countries. We are here not only to represent our nation but to speak for universal human values,” he added.
The OSCE conference in Warsaw will continue until October 17, and a final declaration is expected to be adopted at the closing session.
