 Azerbaijani ombudsperson slams France

France, pursuing neocolonial policy, grossly violates the principles of international law, Human Rights Commissioner (Ombudsman) of Azerbaijan Sabina Aliyeva said on Friday.

She made the remarks while speaking at an international conference, themed "Neocolonialism: Violation of Human Rights and Injustice," which is underway in Baku.

She stated that countries such as France, which pursues a neocolonial policy, excessively violate international law standards, particularly in Africa and the Middle East.

"At present, a number of countries that faced the problem of colonialism continue to struggle for the restoration of their independence and justice. The most regrettable thing is that the international community and organizations remain indifferent to this problem," Aliyeva said.

She noted that Azerbaijan is one of such countries, and Armenia's policy against Azerbaijan has led to many acts of crimes against humanity.

"The mass graves and destroyed monuments discovered on the territory of Azerbaijan are proof of Armenia's crimes," she added.

The ombudswoman emphasized that Armenia has not yet handed over the mine maps to Azerbaijan, which is the reason why civilians are dying in the liberated territories.
