STEPANAKERT, 10.12.08. DE FACTO. A conference entitled "Human Rights
Protection in the Practice of Constitutional Justice" devoted to
the NKR Constitution Day and the 60th anniversary of the Universal
Declaration of Human Rights is being held at the Nagorno-Karabakh
Republic Parliament.

Addressing the audience, the NKR Parliament Speaker Ashot Gulian noted
that the young republic’s affiliation to the Universal Declaration of
Human Rights in 1992 "proceeded from the idea of the Karabakh movement,
national-liberation struggle of our people". The NKR Parliament Speaker
underscored, "the NKR, as a de facto established and viable state,
respects not only basic principles and freedoms of a man, but also
the principles of international law and wishes to integrate in the
nations’ free community".

The head of the RA Constitutional Court and attorney general Gagik
Harutyunian and Aghvan Hovsepian participate in the conference.

The conference has been initiated by the RA Center for Constitutional
Rights, the NKR Supreme Court, the NKR Standing Committee for State
and Legal Issues, the Ministry of Justice and NKR Ombudsman.
