Armenia’s Permanent Representative to UN, Ambassador Karen Nazaryan, delivered a presentation at the UN Security Council discussion, on Thursday, which was devoted to the rule of law.   

Nazaryan noted that Armenia underscores the need to promote the rule of law, in terms of international peace and security and human rights, adding that the violation of the people’s right for self-determination results in regional conflicts.  

Karen Nazaryan also stated that the international human rights are important, with respect to securing the rule of law, and reaffirmed that an attention must be paid to the protection of civilians.  

Ambassador Nazaryan also approved of the fact that the UN Security Council continues to focus on the states’ obligation to end impunity, and to look into genocides and crimes against humanity, and to bring those responsible to account.      

Karen Nazaryan also highlighted that the principle of not using force in a post-conflict region is an important factor toward strengthening mutual trust among the parties, and creating a climate of justice and security.
