“The Azerbaijani state managed to release some 214 children from captivity. Sixty-six children went missing as a result of the conflict and 29 others are being held hostage,” added Huseynova.
The state committee chairwoman said that one of the first international documents to which Azerbaijan joined is the Convention on the Rights of the Child.
“This gave impetus to work to improve the national legislation, create new mechanism and form common principles for combating violence against children. Moreover, using this document as an international tribune, the Azerbaijani government, for the first time, informed the international community about Armenia's aggression against our territory and the fact that about more than three thousand children became refugees and internally displaced,” she added.
