The international human rights organization Human Rights Watch has clearly emphasized that Azerbaijan is using banned cluster munitions against civilian settlements in Nagorno-Karabakh. This is stated in the organization’s report.
During October 2020, HRW experts documented 4 cases of cluster munitions use in Nagorno-Karabakh. Furthermore, Stephen Goose, the organization’s director of the Arms Division, stated that the continued use of cluster munitions, particularly in populated areas, demonstrates a disregard for the safety of the civilian population. The HRW website presents in detail the cases of violations of international humanitarian law by Azerbaijan. The conclusions were based on the organization’s own investigations of the incidents and interviews with residents affected by them.
