In recent decades, Azerbaijan has placed increasing emphasis on strengthening human rights protection, improving governance mechanisms, and encouraging active civic participation. These reforms are closely linked to the country’s broader goals of building a modern legal state, developing civil society institutions, and enhancing citizens’ engagement in political and social life.

Azerbaijan’s Human Rights Commissioner Sabina Aliyeva has said nearly 4,000 Azerbaijanis went missing during the First Karabakh War due to Armenia’s aggressive policies against Azerbaijan in the early 1990s.

Azerbaijan’s Commissioner for Human Rights (Ombudsman), Sabina Aliyeva, took part in the 16th International Conference of Information Commissioners (ICIC XVI), held in Berlin, Germany.

In Germany, Sabina Aliyeva, Azerbaijan’s Commissioner for Human Rights (Ombudsman), met with Lars Castellucci, the Federal Government Commissioner for Human Rights Policy and Humanitarian Assistance.

The further cooperation between the Commissioner for Human Rights (Ombudsperson) of the Republic of Azerbaijan and the UN Children's Fund (UNICEF) has been discussed, News.Az reports via the Ombudsman's Office.

Armenia continues its policy of mine terror and does not abandon its actions that threaten the lives and health of people even after delimitation, said the Azerbaijani Ombudsman's Office.
