CICL and ALC will also pursue the return of the remains of Armenian soldiers and civilians missing in action since the end of the armed conflict on November 9, 2020.\u00a0 In furtherance of the undertaking to secure justice for the many victims of Azerbaijan\u2019s human rights violations, CICL will also conduct comprehensive fact-finding investigations into the many reported incidents of torture and murder of Armenian soldiers and civilians while in the custody of the Azerbaijani military.
