THE HAGUE, Netherlands (AP) — Judges at the United Nations’ top court have imposed orders on Azerbaijan and Armenia to prevent discrimination against one another’s citizens in the aftermath of their war last year over the disputed region of Nagorno-Karabakh. The orders Tuesday came at an early stage of a pair of cases Armenia and Azerbaijan filed at the International Court of Justice that are linked to last year’s war. The court is likely to take years to rule on the merits of the cases, which both allege breaches of an international convention aimed at eliminating racial discrimination.
