At the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva, Georgian Foreign Minister Maka Bochorishvili announced plans to reintroduce a resolution demanding monitoring access to Abkhazia and South Ossetia, two breakaway regions of Georgia, citing humanitarian concerns.
Georgia’s top diplomat reiterated Georgia’s commitment to human rights, while criticizing Russia for ignoring international rulings that define its presence in Georgia as an occupation.
This is not the first time Georgia has urged international organizations to intervene. Previous attempts have largely been met with resistance from Russia, which continues to block monitoring efforts. The UN and EU have repeatedly condemned the situation but have been unable to enforce access.
On domestic matters, the minister addressed what she described as Georgia’s “record-breaking” 2024 elections, urging political stability and respect for the people’s choice. She also highlighted progress in judicial reforms, noting a significant drop in cases filed against Georgia at the European Court of Human Rights.
Georgia, she stated, remains committed to peace, sovereignty, and further engagement with UN human rights mechanisms.
