	Human Rights in Azerbaijan
		The legislation on holding elections for the Presidency on October 11, 1998, and, in the consequence, elections on the local level arose a sharp criticism on the opposition parties side.
		In Azerbaijan there came to head the necessity of carrying out radical reforms in the criminal justice system to ensure the protection of the prisoners being under arrest as the suspected and accused - the necessity which the government is inclined to ignore.
		The long term purposeful policy of Azerbaijan in the respect of the national minorities led to the disappearance of whole peoples, the representatives of which were registered as the Azeris, thus self-arbitrarily and forcibly depriving them of nationality, though their increasing in number did not yield to the natural increase of the Azeris.

	OSCE CRITICIZES AZERBAIJAN’S PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONS:
		In the view of the OSCE, these failings outweighed the positive aspects of the election, including the final version of the election law, which all sides acknowledged as acceptable, the freedom for candidates to campaign on television and meet with voters, the abolition of censorship, provisions for domestic observers, and limited scope for demonstrations.
		Elaborating on this point, Azerbaijan’s Ambassador to the United States, Hafiz Pashaev, took issue with the Washington Post’s critical October 17 editorial on the election and the setback to Azerbaijan’s democratization.
		Nevertheless, the negative assessment of the election by the OSCE and Council of Europe was undoubtedly a blow to his legitimacy.

	REPORT OF THE (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		In Azerbaijan, where the tradition of political dialogue is weakly developed and laws are not observed properly, the relation between authority and opposition is regarded as hostile.
		The presidential elections of 15 October 2003 could not happen without the natural influence of deep rooted societal traditions and skills, especially due to the fact that key figures of the ruling political elite are foster-children of the Soviet political-economic nomenclature.
		The FIDH recalls that presidential elections were awaited by the international community and considered as a test to assess the country’s efforts towards the transition to the rule of law.

	FOREWORD (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Elections of 2003 have been the fifth presidential elections in Azerbaijan within a rather short historical period of independence.
		Nevertheless, heads of election commissions in the process of voting at times expressed their discontent at conduct of domestic observers and exercised such punitive measure as withdrawal of observers from the process of monitoring.
		The Central Election Commission had to issue a special decree providing that persons who are not listed in the list of voters but are permanent residents of a specific area, may be entered into the list of voters by decision of precinct election commissions until the voting day.

	Oil Rigged
		Pentagon chief Donald Rumsfeld’s recent drop-in to Azerbaijan was a sign of the country's strategic significance to the U.S. It also offered a nice counterpoint to the recent happenings in Georgia, where a leader accused of rigging his reelection was ousted with U.S. assent.
		Azerbaijan was the only Muslim nation to send troops to Iraq, and the country is crucial to U.S. interests, with its big oil-pipeline project and its ability to offer fly-over rights and refueling for U.S. aircraft bound for the Middle East and Afghanistan.
		Election observers revealed that the Azerbaijan vote did not meet OSCE standards in "several important respects." Meanwhile, The State Department has voiced disappointment, adding that reported violations "cast doubt on the credibility of the results." That was pretty much the extent of U.S. comment, though.
