In the draft resolution, paragraph 14, after the first sentence, insert the following sentence:
"The Assembly is concerned by the lack of effective investigation and prosecution of hate crimes against minorities."
Explanatory Note :
The ineffective investigation and prosecution of hate crimes remain the major concern in Georgia and has to be noted by the Assembly. Over the past year and a half human rights watchdogs have raised concern over repeated violent attacks on various minorities, of a pogrom on a LGBT group on 17 May 2013, the cutting down of a minaret or the nailing of a pig's head on a madrassa. In none of the cases were any of the perpetrators effectively prosecuted.
