In the light of the above, Mr. Chairman, my country’s delegation commends the real achievements made by Azerbaijan in the field of human rights and recommended that the positive aspects of those achievements be taken into consideration in order to act as an incentive and a stimulus for further progress in the promotion and protection of human rights in Azerbaijan. 36.
