Beginning in January 2021, the Armenian Legal Center for Justice & Human Rights (ALC) partnered with the International & Comparative Law Center (ICLaw), a non-governmental organization based in Yerevan, Armenia, in support of legal action on behalf of Armenian Prisoners of War. The founder and executive director of ICLaw is Siranush Sahakyan, an attorney with extensive experience in human rights litigation and collaborating with international legal institutions.
With a team of attorneys and investigators in Armenia, ICLaw gathered information and documented extensive evidence on Armenians taken captive by Azerbaijan during the time period of September 2020 through May 2021. Based on this fact-finding work, ALC and ICLaw have collaborated to file numerous cases before the European Court of Human Rights.
