Baku: Azerbaijan has officially joined the United Nations Convention on International Settlement Agreements Resulting from Mediation.

According to Azerbaijan State News Agency, this development follows an order signed by President Ilham Aliyev on February 23, 2026, granting Tofig Musayev, Azerbaijan's Permanent Representative to the United Nations, the authority to sign the convention on behalf of the nation.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs was tasked with sending a notification to the United Nations Secretary-General following the presidential order.
