First Deputy Justice Minister presents Parliament with report on implementation of Strasbourg Court rulings

The First Deputy Minister of Justice, Beka Dzamashvili, has presented Parliament with a report on the implementation of judgements handed down by the Strasbourg Court.

Speaking at a joint sitting of the Parliamentary Committees on Legal Affairs and Human Rights Protection and Civil Integration, Dzamashvili stated that “based on 2025 case statistics, Georgia outperforms 29 Council of Europe member states, including 19 EU member states, in terms of its positive performance indicator, and surpasses 27 states, of which 14 are EU members, when measured by the positive ratio of cases to population.”

The First Deputy Minister presented members of parliament with a comprehensive report on the implementation of rulings issued by both the Strasbourg Court and United Nations treaty bodies.

Dzamashvili drew particular attention to the marked downward trend in the number of cases brought against Georgia before the European Court of Human Rights, which has fallen by 93 per cent compared to 2011.

Dzamashvili also noted that 84 per cent of cases where state violations were established concern events that occurred before 2012.

The First Deputy Minister provided members of Parliament with a detailed breakdown of those Strasbourg Court rulings currently at the implementation stage, noting that 127 cases have been closed in total: 109 of them, or 86 per cent, since 2013, and 18 before that year, with a further seven cases concluded in the past year alone.
