The devil is in the details: Azerbaijan has ratified the CE  Convention "On the Protection of Children from Sexual Exploitation  and Sexual Abuse"

ArmInfo. Today it became known that the Milli Majlis of Azerbaijan approved the seemingly nothing more remarkable Council of Europe Convention "On the  Protection of Children from Sexual Exploitation and Sexual Abuse".

It would seem that ratification by a neighboring, and even unfriendly  country, such documents should only be welcomed, especially if there  is an unresolved conflict in the region. But:  But optimism  disappears as soon as you delve into the details of the announcement  of the approval of this convention. "At today's plenary meeting of  the Milli Majlis, a bill" On approval of the Council of Europe  Convention on the Protection of Children from Sexual Exploitation and  Sexual Abuse "was tabled. The document noted that the Republic of  Azerbaijan states that it will not apply the clauses of the  Convention in relation to Armenia. At the same time, Azerbaijan  declares that the implementation of the provisions of the Convention  in the Nagorno-Karabakh region of the Republic of Azerbaijan and the  adjacent 7 regions is not guaranteed until it is completely liberated  from the occupation of these territories and the consequences of the  occupation are eliminated. Azerbaijan reserves the right to amend or  cancel these above cases, and other parties will be informed in  writing of any such changes or cancellations, "the statement quoted  by APA.

The publication notes that the project was submitted for discussion  and adopted at today's plenary meeting of the Milli Majlis.Thus, Azerbaijan, in fact, confirms its militaristic rhetoric in  relation to Armenia and the Armenians, once again demonstrating the  progress of the Armenian-phobic policy in the country. In fact,  Azerbaijan claims that in cases of resumption of hostilities, or, God  forbid, Armenian children be captured by them, the latter will be  subjected to both sexual violence and sexual slavery. In this regard,  the question arises of the advisability of ratifying this CE  document, if there are similar nuances in the document.
