Azerbaijan media and judicial regulatory developments
Overview
Azerbaijan has moved toward stricter regulation of information and professional conduct. The government proposed legislation to ban the promotion of LGBT topics in media, public spaces, and education, citing the protection of children’s health and development. This law includes potential penalties such as fines, suspension of activities for media organizations, and the revocation of licenses for foreign media outlets.
In parallel, new professional standards have been introduced for the media and the judiciary. Media experts have emphasized the need for self-regulation and ethical codes to address the challenges of digital media and sensationalism. For the judiciary, a new Code of Ethical Conduct for Judges has been established, mandating strict adherence to court schedules and prohibiting the use of derogatory or insulting language toward citizens.
