5. The Assembly also notes that on 5 December 2023 the Committee on the Honouring of Obligations and Commitments by Member States of the Council of Europe (Monitoring Committee) adopted a report on the honouring of obligations and commitments by Azerbaijan and that this report will be examined by the Assembly after the snap presidential election in Azerbaijan, which is scheduled for 7 February 2024 and was called on 7 December 2023, shortly after the adoption of the said report.

6. Recalling its Resolution 2322 (2020) “Reported cases of political prisoners in Azerbaijan”, the Assembly is also concerned that rapporteurs of the Monitoring Committee were not allowed to meet with persons detained on allegedly politically motivated charges. Moreover, the Assembly strongly regrets that it has not been invited to observe the forthcoming presidential election despite Azerbaijan’s obligation to send such an invitation as the country is under monitoring procedure. The Assembly considers these refusals as instances of “lack of co-operation in the Assembly’s monitoring procedure” in the meaning of Rule 8.2.b of the Rules of Procedure of the Assembly. Furthermore, it condemns the Azerbaijani delegation’s lack of cooperation with the rapporteur of the Committee on Legal Affairs and Human Rights on “Threats to life and safety of journalists and human rights defenders in Azerbaijan”, who has been refused to visit the country three times. It also deeply deplores that the rapporteur of the Committee on Migration, Refugees and Displaced Persons on “Ensuring free and safe access through the Lachin corridor” was not invited to Azerbaijan during his fact-finding visit to the region and was thus unable to travel to the Lachin Corridor.

7. Therefore, the Assembly resolves not to ratify the credentials of the delegation of Azerbaijan. The delegation may resume its activities in the Assembly when conditions provided by the Rules of Procedure are met.
