Signatories: Mr Tedo JAPARIDZE, Georgia, SOC ; Ms Eka BESELIA, Georgia, SOC ; Ms Manana KOBAKHIDZE, Georgia, SOC ; Mr Zviad KVATCHANTIRADZE, Georgia, EC ; Ms Guguli MAGRADZE, Georgia, SOC

Origin - 2015 - Fourth part-session

In the draft resolution, replace paragraph 10.5 with the following paragraph:

"In Georgia, the continued polarisation of the political environment, the sporadic cases of intolerant discourse against minorities and the alleged deficiencies in court proceedings that negatively affect the respect for a fair trial in certain cases;"

Explanatory note

The rapporteur refers to the OSCE/ODIHR report published on 9 December 2014. But the present report covers the period well after the OSCE/ODIHR publication and so omits a lot of recent positive developments that have successfully addressed many of the problems mentioned in the paragraph.
