Azerbaijan’s illegal annexation of Nagorno-Karabakh is a crime not only against Armenia, but the global rule of law as well

When we bandy about “war crimes,” “assassination,” and other terms, we ought to consider what we are talking about and, if appropriate, what the available mechanisms for justice are.
