Global Magnitsky sanctions offer a powerful tool to build confidence, restore trust, and deter further Azerbaijani aggression, where negotiations alone have fallen short. The bill highlights Azerbaijan’s ongoing illegal detention of at least 23 Armenian prisoners of war, civilian captives, and former Artsakh officials. “The Armenian Legal Center welcomes the leadership of Representatives Titus and Bilirakis in introducing this urgently needed measure to hold Azerbaijan accountable for its crimes,” said Ken Hachikian, Chair of the Armenian Legal Center for Justice and Human Rights (ALC). Advocates met with Members of Congress to call for support of the Azerbaijan Sanctions Review Act of 2025, alongside other community-driven policy priorities. Support for the Azerbaijan Sanctions Review Act of 2025 was also forcefully conveyed during two ANCA-hosted Capitol Hill events this week, held in conjunction with the Advocacy Days.
