Georgia gets a high evaluation for achievements but has to eradicate faults with respect to the protection of human rights – reads the report of Human Rights International Expert Maggie Nicholson presented by representatives of European Union and United Nations within the framework of the 4-year program “Human Rights for All.”
Nicholson arrived in Georgia at the invitation of the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) and Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR).
Based on the report, Georgia reached progress in carrying out legislative and political reforms with respect to struggle against discrimination, the judiciary of juveniles, labour safety, children’s rights and protection of migrants and asylum seekers.
The Human Rights International Expert gave recommendations that include the independence of prosecutors and judges, media pluralism and development of transparent and democratic legal affairs.
