For over 30 years, the ICRC has been part of the country’s humanitarian landscape, addressing the evolving needs of people affected by conflict while prioritizing human dignity and long-term resilience.

Guided by its commitment to humanitarian principles including humanity, neutrality, impartiality, and independence, and rooted in its unique mandate established in the Geneva Conventions, the ICRC has worked in Azerbaijan to address the needs of those affected by the conflict, including during periods of escalations. Its humanitarian action has always been anchored on a common understanding of needs and on relationships built directly with affected communities, authorities and local partners. 

As the organization concludes its work in Azerbaijan, the relationships, systems and shared experiences forged throughout these years will continue to shape our engagement with the authorities and Azerbaijan Red Crescent Society in the future.
