Nagorny Karabakh: the lasting consequences of an unresolved conflict
Twelve years after the cease-fire between Armenia and Azerbaijan, ICRC protection and assistance activities continue. The fate of thousands of missing persons remains unknown. Mines and unexploded ordnance continue to kill and maim. Many displaced persons have still not been able to go home.

In response, the ICRC launched a prevention and treatment programme in all Azerbaijani and Armenian prisons.
