Стр. 111 - Justice for Khojaly

The International Awareness Campaign “Justice for Khojaly” was initiated on 8 May 2008, by
Leyla Aliyeva, General Coordinator of the Islamic Conference Youth Forum for Dialogue and
Cooperation.
The Campaign aims to raise international public awareness of the Khojaly Genocide, the root
causes and consequences of the Armenia-Azerbaijan Nagorno-Karabakh conflict and the need for
the soonest and unconditional withdrawal of Armenian armed forces from the Nagorno-Karabakh
region and other occupied territories of Azerbaijan.
The Campaign makes use of a variety of communication tools and resources to reach out globally
and deliver its messages, including in particular through the media, internet and live events. Events
organized within the framework of the Campaign are designed to demonstrate the strong oppo-
sition to massacres, ethnic cleansing, racial, ethnic or religious discrimination, express solidarity
with the victims of the Khojaly Genocide and to underline the need for a fight against impunity for
the crimes committed against Azerbaijani civilians in Khojaly.
The campaign functions successfully in dozens of countries and so far more than 120 000 people
and 115 organizations have joined the Campaign. Social networks, exhibitions, rallies, contests,
confe­rences, seminars and similar activities are other effective tools promoting the Campaign’s
goals.
