Now it turns out that, in addition to the tripartite declaration of November 9, 2020, there is another legally binding document which words the circumstance of uninterrupted passage through the Lachin corridor or Azerbaijan's obligation to ensure it. Yeghishe Kirakosyan, the representative of Armenia for international legal affairs, told this to a press conference Monday, reflecting on the recent decisions of the International Court of Justice (ICJ) of the United Nations regarding the application of temporary measures submitted by Armenia and Azerbaijan.

Last week, the ICJ decided to apply a temporary measure, obliging Azerbaijan to ensure the unhindered passage of people, goods, and vehicles through the Lachin corridor.

Yeghishe Kirakosyan said that this decision also has political consequences and they already exist now.

"Maybe they are not very visible. At least there is a consequence in the form of an assessment. If we have different countries, international organizations which start to talk about, to give an assessment on this issue—for example, Azerbaijan's non-implementation of the decision—, this can already be considered a significant consequence. And as a result of the accumulation of those consequences, we get a result. When 10-15 countries start claiming the same thing, or the international organizations make calls, this can achieve some results with the snowball effect; this is the way.

This temporary measure is applied within the framework of the big case ‘Armenia vs Azerbaijan, and we will submit these evidences to the court before the examination of the main case. That is, we will submit to the court Azerbaijan's non-compliances, or actions by Azerbaijan that violate the court's decisions" Yeghishe Kirakosyan added.

Also, he informed that according to the rules of the ICJ, the latter can set up a committee, consisting of three judges, to monitor the execution of court decisions. It is also possible that a fact-finding mission will come, but work must be done in that regard.
