BAKU, Azerbaijan, February 19. The Baku
Initiative Group (BIG) continues its activities not only in the
political sphere but also in the economic and scientific spheres,
said Abbas Abbasov, Executive Director of BIG, to reporters on the
sidelines of the international conference "Neocolonialism and
Global Inequality" in Baku today, Trend reports.
According to him, digital platforms like the virtual museum are
pivotal in fostering robust and constructive collaboration among
nations.
"At this time, researchers, scientists, and experts use such
scientific platforms quite a lot as a reputable source, and
collaborations are emerging here. Our virtual platform will serve
as a digital database for scientists, UN experts, and other
interested parties and in turn will contribute to the
decolonization process at the scientific level," he added.
The Baku Initiative Group (BIG) was created on July 6, 2023, in
Baku, Azerbaijan, to fight colonialism and neocolonialism. It
promotes self-determination for French, Dutch, and
Belgian-colonized regions. BIG organizes over 30 international
conferences, supports colonial freedom movements through discourse
and legal activism, and connects with over 20 states. The
institution reports to the UN on decolonization, reparations, human
rights, and environmental challenges in colonized regions. BIG, led
by executive director Abbas Abbasov, works with French overseas
territories on minority rights concerns as a decolonization
platform complying with international law.
