Azerbaijan expressed concern over rising racism and Islamophobia in Europe during the 62nd session of the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva.
The Permanent Mission's statement noted that the South Caucasus has a historic chance to turn from confrontation to cooperation.
Azerbaijan has opened new economic and transit opportunities, with the return of IDPs as a priority. Demining remains a major obstacle.
The statement condemned Islamophobia, discrimination against migrants, and social intolerance within the EU, emphasizing that international cooperation must be based on mutual respect and equal standards.
