This article explores the ongoing challenges Azerbaijan faces in its Garabagh and Eastern Zangezur regions due to the contamination of those territories with landmines and explosive remnants of war (ERW) by Armenia during the latter’s 30-year-long occupation of the former’s territories. As one of the most mine-contaminated countries globally, Azerbaijan continues to grapple with the dangers posed by mines planted during the occupation. These mines pose a significant threat to the lives of tens of thousands of people, regardless of age or gender. Today, one of Azerbaijan’s top priorities is to remove these mines, restore the infrastructure, and facilitate resettlement in its liberated territories. While international aid is key in this context, it constitutes only 6% of the total expenditure allocated for mine action in Azerbaijan. Despite moderate contributions from international partners, Azerbaijan continues to face immense challenges due to the severity of landmine contamination, with much of the international support failing to respond to the scale of the problem. Azerbaijan’s difficulties are compounded by unequal global attention to its mine crisis, as many donor countries have prioritized other mine-affected countries.
