Commissioner for Human Rights of Azerbaijan Sabina Aliyeva issued an appeal regarding the “Human Rights Month.”The protection and promotion of human rights and freedoms are one of the priority directions of the state policy in Azerbaijan. Following the restoration of a state independence, consecutive and complex reforms have been carried out in the building of a legal state in our country, and fundamental legal bases were formed in this direction. 

According to EDnews on the eve of this significant day, the period of 18 May-18 June, was traditionally declared by the Commissioner for Human Rights of the Republic of Azerbaijan as “Human Rights Month.

”The month-long campaign aims to promote rights and freedoms, increase public legal awareness, discuss the existing challenges in the field of human rights, and publicize the broadcasting of the activities held at the national level. It must be noted specifically that advocating the rule of law, legal culture, legal accountability, and social inclusion principles should be the key subjects of discussions.

From this perspective, state institutions, municipalities, education and cultural facilities, health and social service institutions, penitentiary institutions, non-governmental organizations, media outlets, and other corresponding institutions are encouraged to participate actively in the events to be held during the “Human Rights Month,” and to organize various educational events, discussions, trainings, and awareness campaigns. Given that, particularly, 2025 was declared in our country as the “Year of the Constitution and Sovereignty,” it is recommended to pay special attention to promoting national constitutional values and the rule of law in these events.
