"Mr President, Azerbaijan has numerous problems with human rights. The writer-atheist, Rafiq Tagi, who received a fatwa from an Iranian religious leader, was murdered because of his opinions and what he had said. As is well known, there have been problems with human rights violations in Azerbaijan when criminal investigations have been conducted. Other serious problems include the long prison sentences handed out to human rights defenders, opposition activists, bloggers and writers, on unjustified or totally fabricated charges.
Azerbaijan is to be a rotating member of the United Nations Security Council for the years 2012 and 2013. Can a country like Azerbaijan represent the whole international community in the UN Security Council?
Listening to civil society and dialogue with NGOs and human rights activists are vitally important in a country that respects democracy and human rights. The European Union must insist that Azerbaijan should carefully investigate the background to Mr Tagi’s assassination and take the relevant practical steps."@en1
