In his speech to UN Security Council, Armenia`s Permanent  Representative referred to Azerbaijan`s encroachments on Armenia`s  sovereign territories and aggression against Artsakh

ArmInfo. Permanent Representative of Armenia to the UN Mher Margaryan said that the  calamities of the past yield unambiguous lessons for the future of  multilateralism, which rests on its capacity to protect the people of  the world - the owners of the Charter of the United Nations - from  extreme suffering. 

However, he recalled that Armenia has consistently alerted the  international community of gross violations of international law in  its region.  This includes repeatedly bringing to the Council's  attention that Azerbaijan - Armenia's neighbour, much larger in size  and resources - has been illegally acquiring territory by force. 

Detailing Azerbaijan's actions since it attempted to resolve the  Nagorno-Karabakh conflict by force in 2020, he underscored that his  country has been warning the United Nations and the Council that the  alarming situation in Nagorno-Karabakh "is close to turning into a  humanitarian catastrophe". 

He added that there is no statute of limitations "for a certain  category of crimes", observing that those committing such serious  violations will have to face responsibility - including through  mechanisms of international jurisdiction - as justice and  accountability must be at the core of effective multilateralism.
