According to Trend News Agency, the WAC released a statement criticizing both human rights organizations for allegedly abusing Azerbaijan's role as the host of COP29 to launch politically motivated attacks. The statement claims that the simultaneous release of critical statements by these organizations indicates a coordinated effort to undermine Azerbaijan's international standing. The WAC argues that this pattern of behavior demonstrates the organizations are being manipulated by external forces that oppose Azerbaijan's sovereignty. The statement further details how Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch have ignored previous appeals from the community, specifically regarding the protection of Azerbaijanis expelled from Armenia. The WAC contends this neglect highlights the organizations' departure from their foundational human rights principles, accusing them of using their influence as political tools to foster ethnic and religious discrimination against Azerbaijan. The community's statement ends with a strong condemnation of what it describes as anti-Azerbaijani actions by Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch, urging them to cease their alleged discriminatory practices.
