A sourced record of diplomacy, agreements, borders, connectivity and humanitarian measures.
Counting & sources
Counts cover this curated register. Each record has one primary topic and is counted once in the main chart. Multiple reports or translations of the same meeting do not create extra events. Gaps do not establish inactivity. Counts measure recorded developments, not the success of the peace process.
Official statements establish what the issuing body recorded or announced. They do not by themselves prove that every commitment was fulfilled. Event dates drive charts; later publication dates are retained separately. The register is selective and will need further additions.

ICJ accepts jurisdiction over Armenia’s CERD case
Security & lawCourt judgment
Court orders
The ICJ rejected Azerbaijan’s two preliminary objections and found jurisdiction over Armenia’s application.
This judgment concerns jurisdiction, including claims about detention and ill-treatment. It is not a final ruling that the alleged violations occurred.
The ICJ accepted jurisdiction over Azerbaijan’s case while excluding pre-15 September 1996 acts and environmental-harm claims.
Two Armenian preliminary objections were upheld and one rejected. The jurisdiction judgment does not determine whether the remaining allegations are proved.
The ICJ ordered safeguards for safe return, departure and residence without coercion for people affected by the September events.
Paragraph 74 concerns people who left or remained after 19 September 2023 and also requires preservation of identity and property records. The order does not establish that return or compliance has occurred.
Volker Türk expressed concern about renewed armed force and its civilian impact, urging a return to a rights-based peace process.
The 19 September OHCHR statement calls for respect for human rights and humanitarian law, including humanitarian access. It provides no casualty total or independently verified attribution of individual incidents.
The EU recorded Armenian and Azerbaijani servicemen killed or injured.
The EU’s 12 April statement explicitly describes the previous day’s clashes near Tegh and urges withdrawal to safe distances from the 1991 line. The source does not allocate responsibility for initiating fire or provide verified casualty totals.
The ICJ ordered Azerbaijan to ensure unimpeded movement of people, vehicles and cargo along the Lachin Corridor in both directions.
Paragraph 67 sets out the provisional measure pending the final decision under CERD. This record establishes the court order, not its implementation or a final merits judgment.
The ECHR indicated measures for Azerbaijan to ensure safe passage for seriously ill people and people stranded on the Lachin road.
The Rule 39 measure concerns actions within Azerbaijan’s jurisdiction and does not prejudge admissibility or merits. It differs from the ICJ’s February 2023 order.

Security & lawAgreed
Ceasefires
A ceasefire was agreed from 20:00 local time on 14 September after fighting along the Armenia–Azerbaijan border.

UN calls for de-escalation after renewed border fighting
Security & lawOfficial record
Hostilities
The UN Secretary-General expressed concern over renewed border fighting and called for restraint and implementation of previous agreements.
This is a dated UN response to the September escalation. The statement does not attribute responsibility or independently determine casualties; it is not recorded as a new bilateral ceasefire.
ICJ orders detainee, heritage and anti-hatred safeguards
Security & lawCourt order
Court orders
In Armenia’s CERD case, the ICJ ordered Azerbaijan to protect detainees, prevent racial hatred and safeguard Armenian cultural heritage.
The operative paragraph 98 also orders both parties not to aggravate the dispute. These provisional measures do not decide the merits or establish compliance.
Fighting caused deaths, injuries and captures; a Russian-mediated ceasefire was reported.
European Parliament representatives’ 17 November statement explicitly refers to the previous day’s heavy fighting. It describes an Azerbaijani military operation following alleged provocations; its casualty count was still unconfirmed.
Azerbaijani troops enter Armenian territory, as identified by European Parliament representatives.
European Parliament representatives date the incursion to 12 May. On 28 May the EU called for all forces to return to earlier positions and resume delimitation talks. The cited statements do not establish precise occupied-area figures.
ECHR refers captive-information failures to ministers
Security & lawOfficial record
Court orders
The ECHR decided to notify the Committee of Ministers about interim measures and shortcomings in Azerbaijan’s responses on alleged captives.
Decision: 9 March; press release: 16 March. The notification cited missed deadlines and limited information; it did not resolve every individual’s fate.
The trilateral statement declared cessation of hostilities from midnight Moscow time on 10 November.
The statement was signed on 9 November and published on the Armenian PM site on 10 November. Its provisions also address peacekeepers, detainees and transport links. Effectiveness is dated separately from signature.
A US-facilitated humanitarian ceasefire was scheduled for 08:00 local time on 26 October.
The Azerbaijani embassy’s contemporary release confirms the scheduled start while alleging violations. Those allegations are not treated here as independent findings.
Armenia and Azerbaijan reached a humanitarian ceasefire agreement on 10 October.
The EU’s next-day declaration welcomed the agreement but noted reports of continued military activity. The record establishes an agreement, not sustained compliance.
