Landmine legacy in Azerbaijan: A threat to reconstruction and sustainable development
The three-decade-long Armenia Azerbaijan conflict came to an end in 2023, but it left behind a hidden menace – the existence of landmines, particularly in the liberated territories of Azerbaijan. These deadly remnants of war pose a significant threat to human rights, notably the right of internally displaced persons (IDPs) to return to their homes and properties, but also rights to sustainable development and environmental protection, as well as to peace and stability throughout the entire South Caucasus region. This article aims to shed light on the impact of landmines and the importance of addressing this issue promptly. Furthermore, it emphasizes the strategic significance of rapid demining for post-conflict reconstruction in the South Caucasus and underscores the need for concerted efforts to ensure development, environmental protection, and stability in the region.
