Artsakh Appeals to UN for Independence

The government of Artsakh has adopted a statement calling upon UN member states to recognize its independence. The appeal is based on the 'Remedial Secession Doctrine', which in essence is a unilateral secession as a measure against tyranny, human rights abuses, and/or segregation from governmental participation from the 'parent state'. With the present blockade of Artsakh by the Azeri government, it is on this basis the government has adopted their appeal.
