The U.S. Senate Foreign Relations Committee has postponed its meeting scheduled for today to discuss the ‘Megobari Act,’ according to the committee’s website.

Earlier, Senators Jim Risch and Jeanne Shaheen issued a statement on the committee’s website regarding the introduction of the bipartisan ‘Megobari Act.’ The statement emphasizes support for the Georgian people, citing concerns over their government’s violent actions against peaceful protesters. It also reaffirms U.S. backing for Georgia’s Euro-Atlantic integration.

The ‘Megobari Act’ includes provisions for sanctions and visa restrictions targeting high-ranking Georgian officials. Key measures include:

Initiate a complete review of the U.S.–Georgia relationship, including all assistance programs;

Recognize the Georgian people’s support for the country’s constitutionally enshrined commitment to Euro-Atlantic accession processes;

Require the President to impose sanctions on Georgian Dream officials and their enablers who have engaged in corruption to derail Georgia’s Euro Atlantic integration, undermined Georgia’s sovereignty and territorial integrity or engaged in other corrupt acts detrimental to stability in Georgia;

Bolster people-to-people ties and defense cooperation when Georgia realigns itself with its own Constitutional requirements;

Express support for Georgia’s full sovereignty and territorial integrity amid continued and illegal Russian occupation;

Support civil society, which has worked to defend the Georgian people and the Georgian Constitution from Georgian Dream government abuses.
