BA Thesis: International Law and the Nagorno-Karabakh Conflict
International legal principles applied to the resolution of the
Nagorno-Karabagh conflict allow for the international recognition of the
Nagorno-Karabakh Republic. The conflict's resolution would promote the
normalization of relations between Armenia and Azerbaijan.
The Nagorno-Karabakh conflict is one of the most bloody and large-scale
conflicts in the post-Soviet region. This is an old conflict with its own
genesis and internal dynamics. The conflict is considered to be a real
obstacle to the normalization of relations between Armenia and Azerbaijan.
Different political and economic factors play a major role in the
regulation of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict: the geostrategic interests of
regional hegemons and the question of who controls its oil riches. Not
surprisingly, the process of conflict regulation in Nagorno-Karabakh is a
highly politicized issue. To date, little or no attention has been paid to
the legal aspects of the conflict, and the possibility for conflict
regulation via the application of the principles of international law.
This thesis focuses on the application of the principles of international
law as a way to regulate the Nagorno-Karabakh issue, in due consideration
of the political interests of the parties involved in the conflict. The
paper investigates the role of international principles in conflict
prevention and regulation, and their applicability to the Nagorno-Karabakh
dispute. The legal aspects of the Nagorno-Karabakh issue from its earliest
days to the present are comprehensively studied in the thesis. Possible
models for the regulation of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict and the role of
precedent are discussed in this paper in order to assess the possibility of
an international recognition of the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic.
