The International Court of Justice on Wednesday rejected a request by Azerbaijan, which wanted it to order Armenia to stop allegedly planting landmines in a disputed area.

A treaty under which Azerbaijan filed its complaint does not "plausibly imposes any obligation on Armenia to take measures to enable Azerbaijan to undertake demining or to cease and desist from planting landmines", said presiding judge Joan Donoghue.
