🇺🇳 At UN, CSI calls for fact-finding mission following the destruction of Christian cultural heritage in Nagorno Karabakh.

Today, Christian Solidarity International delivered an oral statement at the United Nations Human Rights Council in Geneva, highlighting the ongoing humanitarian crisis in .

In the statement, CSI condemned the removal of 150,000 ethnic Christian Armenians from their ancestral land by the invading Azerbaijani army – a severe campaign of ethnic cleansing.

The statement emphasized that Azerbaijan continues to ignore a November 2023 order from the International Court of Justice (ICJ) mandating a safe and unhindered return for the displaced population.

Furthermore, CSI called out Azerbaijan for violating an earlier 2021 ICJ directive by systematically destroying vital Armenian cultural and religious heritage sites, including the recent demolition of the Holy Mother of God Cathedral in Stepanakert.

Joel Veldkamp, Director for Public Advocacy at CSI, urged the High Commissioner for Human Rights and the President of the UN Human Rights Council to organize an official fact-finding mission to investigate these gross violations of international law and submit a report documenting the ethnic cleansing of Nagorno Karabakh.

CSI defends the safe return of the native Christian population to their homes, and the release of 20 Armenians currently held as hostages by the Azerbaijani government.

ANC-International issues statement on Israeli Cabinet’s genocide recognition

On the recognition of the Armenian Genocide by the government of Israel

Armenian National Committee International

June 29, 2026

Today, the government of Israel unanimously approved the proposal of the country’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, Gideon Sa’ar, to officially recognize the Armenian Genocide. According to reports, the draft resolution on recognition will now be submitted to the Knesset for adoption.

In his remarks, the foreign minister noted that similar initiatives had been introduced in the past but had failed to reach their logical conclusion.

The minister also stated that this was not an “act of retaliation” for the open hostility, along with the terrible rhetoric and the hostile actions of Turkey, under Erdogan’s leadership, toward Israel,” presumably referring to the justified assertions of not only by Turkey, rather by the significant part of the international community, that Israel is committing genocide against the Palestinian people in Gaza.

Considering the fact that numerous Jewish figures spoke out on this issue during the years of the Genocide as eyewitnesses, and later, as intellectuals, politicians and a political party (Meretz), called upon the state of Israel to recognize the Armenian Genocide, Minister Sa’ar is right when he says: “It is never too late to do the right thing. … This is both a moral and historical duty. And in my opinion, there is no strong reason to be avoiding it.”

If and when this initiative reaches its logical conclusion, and the Israeli parliament also approves the recognition of the Armenian Genocide as a matter of state policy, we will welcome that position, while at the same time reiterating Minister Sa’ar’s own reasoning addressed to Turkey — that such recognition “does not grant it (in this case, Israel) immunity from historical truths,” including with regard to its complicity in the crimes committed against the Armenian population of Artsakh.
