Council of Europe Congress: Statement by the Monitoring Committee on the situation in Georgia
Tbilisi, Georgia, 2 July 2024 – The Monitoring Committee* of the Council of Europe’s Congress of Local and Regional Authorities, meeting in Tbilisi, Georgia, on 2 July 2024, adopted the following statement:
“The Monitoring Committee reaffirms its full support to the independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity of Georgia within its internationally recognised borders, while 20% of Georgian territory is occupied by Russia.
“It reaffirms its commitment to supporting Georgia’s democratic development. The polarisation of society and clear signs of democratic backsliding, which undermine democratic stability, compel all political forces in the country to engage in dialogue reflecting the European aspirations of Georgian people. The Monitoring Committee calls for such open and inclusive political dialogue to take place, as it is essential for creating an environment in which all citizens, regardless of their political views, can participate actively, freely, and equally in public life at all levels, with respect for democratic principles and human rights. It trusts that this dialogue will lead to a renewed commitment to consolidating democracy in Georgia.”
In the spirit of such a dialogue, members of the Monitoring Committee met with national and local representatives of the ruling party, of the opposition and of civil society.
