Hovhannisyan reminds Azerbaijan of international humanitarian law
The spokesman for Armenian Defense Ministry Artsrun Hovhannisyan reminded the commanders of the Azerbaijani armed forces about the provisions of international humanitarian law concerning the treatment of the wounded and the dead.
“We remind the command of the Azerbaijani army that under Article 15 of the Geneva Convention of 1949, parties to the conflict shall, without delay, take all possible measures to search for and collect the wounded and sick, protect them against pillage and ill-treatment, to ensure their adequate care, and to search for the dead and prevent their being despoiled,” A. Hovhannisyan wrote on Facebook.
