A draft law on protecting the rights of Azerbaijani citizens in
the digital space will be prepared.
This was announced at a meeting of the Azerbaijani parliamentary
committee on human rights.
Discussions were held during today's meeting, following which
the deputies considered it important to prepare such a draft
law.
The work plan has been adopted by the members of the committee
after the discussion.
During the same session, Azerbaijani MP Elman Nasirov proposed
drafting a legal document on social media.
'People are being insulted and slandered on social media,
therefore, we should start preparing a relevant bill on social
networks,' he said.
Furthermore, MP Elshad Mirbashir suggested making additions to
the law 'On commemorating the name of martyr and benefits provided
to families of martyrs'.
The MP noted that he submitted his proposal to the
parliament.
'Those who died as a result of an accident during military
service in the period of the 2020 Second Karabakh War or during the
performance of military duties should also be given the status of a
martyr,' he added.
Moreover, the Azerbaijani parliamentary committee on human
rights has submitted a bill 'On approval of the Fourth Additional
Protocol to the European Convention on Extradition' for
discussion.
According to the bill, this additional protocol has been
prepared in order to modernize and supplement a number of
provisions of the European Convention.
Articles 10 (expiration), 12 (request and additional documents),
14 (specificity rule), and 21 (transit) were revised, and a new
paragraph was added to article 15 (transfer to a third state).
Besides, it's envisaged to include new provisions on channels
and means of communication, as well as on a peaceful
settlement.
The provisions of the Fourth Additional Protocol won't be
applied by Azerbaijan in relation to Armenia until the complete
elimination of the conflict consequences and normalization of
relations with this country.
Additionally, the special hearings in connection with the damage
caused by the Armenian occupation will be held on legal mechanisms
for protecting the rights of Azerbaijani citizens violated as a
result of the occupation of Azerbaijani lands by the Armenian armed
forces, and compensation for the damage caused to Azerbaijan on the
basis of relevant claims in international instances.
