A monthslong siege in the South Caucasus region by Azerbaijani forces has created a humanitarian crisis that is nearing catastrophe and is now widely believed to constitute an effort at genocide.
In the year that marks the 75th anniversary of the Genocide Convention, the world faces the real threat of a second Armenian genocide, this time in the contested South Caucasus region of Nagorno-Karabakh, also known as Artsakh.
The foot-dragging of the international community in the face of this potential genocide is harder to understand, particularly now that there is so much more awareness of early warning signs and global training of government officials in genocide prevention.
Others, including Luis Moreno Ocampo, the former lead prosecutor of the International Criminal Court, have warnedAliyev is clearly using the blockade as a test of the international community’s commitment to protecting Armenians in their ancestral lands — a test that. The international press has displayed only lukewarm interest, and foreign diplomats are engaging in the language of false equivalencies. This sends a dangerous green light to Aliyev.
