Azerbaijan has been a member of the Council of Europe,an international organization that focuses on strengthening democracy and human rights,since 2001. As a member,it has attracted attention for holding political prisoners,low implementation of verdicts of the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR),and bribing Council of Europe parliamentarians to suppress negative information about its human rights record. In 2017,the Committee of Ministers launched the first ever infringement proceeding against Azerbaijan after it refused to release opposition politician Ilgar Mammadov after a 2014 ECtHR verdict that his imprisonment was unlawful. There has also been criticism of Azerbaijan's continued membership by those who believe its lack of human rights protection undermines the credibility of the Council of Europe.
