Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government what steps they will take, together with international partners, to ensure that the decision of the International Court of Justice concerning access to and from Armenia through the Lachin corridor is upheld.

The UK Government is aware of continued disruption to the Lachin Corridor, including to the flow of humanitarian goods and civilians. The UK raised this issue most recently on 2 March at the OSCE, and concerns were also conveyed by the Minister for Europe during his visit to Azerbaijan in February 2023. The UK has taken note of the judgement from the International Court of Justice in relation to the Lachin Corridor, and encourages all parties to consider its implementation. We will continue to urge both parties to negotiate to reach a lasting peace agreement, and to honour all their commitments.
