Court Review — March 16–19, 2026

Azerbaijan and Armenia have agreed on key procedural instructions for delimiting their state border, marking another step toward formalizing a process seen as central to the normalization of relations between the two countries.

Azerbaijan will establish a regional acceleration center in partnership with the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), aiming to strengthen its startup ecosystem, attract investment and accelerate digital transformation, following the ratification of a bilateral agreement by President Ilham Aliyev.

Ilham Aliyev signed a law on March 29 introducing amendments to the Labour Code and the Law on Education, aimed at unifying the legal status of teaching staff across different segments of the education system, official sources said.

When UN-Habitat convenes the 13th World Urban Forum in Baku next month, the gathering will carry more weight than its formal mandate suggests. The biennial forum, which does not produce binding decisions, has evolved into a marketplace of ideas, capital and political signalling—one where host countries seek to translate global urban discourse into tangible investment pipelines.
