Azerbaijani war crimes
Azerbaijani war crimes are the violations of the law of war, including the Hague Conventions of 1899 and 1907 and the Geneva Conventions, consisting of war crimes and crimes against humanity, of which the official armed and paramilitary forces of the Azerbaijan Republic are accused of committing since the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991.

Intentionally killing civilians, intentionally killing prisoners of war, torture, taking hostages, the granting of no quarter despite surrender are all war crimes.

Artsakh
Artsakh is divided into seven provinces and one special administrative city. According to the authorities of Artsakh, it consists of the territories in which the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic was proclaimed: the former Nagorno-Karabakh Autonomous Oblast (NKAO), the Shahumyan Region and the Getashen subdistrict; and those territories that formed part of the Republic of Artsakh before the Second Nagorno-Karabakh War.

As of 2022, the territory of Artsakh includes most of four districts of the former Nagorno-Karabakh Autonomous Oblast, with the fifth district, Hadrut Province, completely under Azerbaijani control. Also claimed by Artsakh is the Shahumyan Region of the Azerbaijan SSR, which has been under Azerbaijani control since the First Nagorno-Karabakh War. While the Shahumyan Region was not part of the Nagorno-Karabakh Autonomous Oblast, representatives from Shahumyan declared independence along with the Oblast, and the proclamation of Artsakh includes the Shahumyan region within its borders.

After the end of the Second Nagorno-Karabakh War, an agreement was signed according to which most of the controlled territories of the Republic of Artsakh were transferred to Azerbaijani control, but the Republic of Artsakh continues to claim these territories.

Following the Republic of Artsakh's declaration of independence, the Azerbaijani government abolished the NKAO and created Azerbaijani districts in its place. As a result, some of Artsakh's divisions corresponded with the Azerbaijani districts, while others had different borders.

Armenian POWs during the Second Nagorno-Karabakh War
Armenian prisoners of war during the Second Nagorno-Karabakh War are a category of servicemen of the Defense Army of the Republic of Artsakh and the Armed Forces of the Republic of Armenia, as well as civilians and other detainees, who were voluntarily or forcibly captured by the Azerbaijani Armed Forces during and after the 2020 war in the disputed region of Nagorno-Karabakh and surrounding areas.

Humanitarian organizations
On 19 March 2021, Human Rights Watch (HRW) reported that Azerbaijani Armed Forces abused Armenian POWs from the 2020 Nagorno-Karabakh War, "subjecting them to cruel and degrading treatment and torture either when they were captured, during their transfer, or while in custody at various detention facilities." HRW called on the Azerbaijani authorities to investigate the cases of ill-treatment and bring those responsible to justice. The organization also called on the Azerbaijani side to immediately release all remaining prisoners of war and detained civilians and provide information on the whereabouts of military personnel and civilians whose status is unknown.

Hugh Williamson, Europe and Central Asia director at Human Rights Watch, stated that “the abuse, including torture of detained Armenian soldiers, is abhorrent and a war crime” and also noted that “it is also deeply disturbing that a number of missing Armenian soldiers were last seen in Azerbaijan’s custody and it has failed to account for them.”

Human Rights Watch interviewed four former Armenian POWs who described in detail their mistreatment in detention, as well as the mistreatment of other POWs with whom they were taken prisoner or in the same cell.
