This resolution addresses the deteriorating political situation in Georgia, covering elections, laws on foreign influence and family values, and EU-Georgia relations. It calls on Georgia to uphold reforms for EU accession, respect fundamental freedoms, and address election recommendations, while rejecting certain laws and urging dialogue.

Key points

  1. Recalls that EU accession is based on objective criteria; regrets suspension of financial assistance; underlines benefits of visa facilitation and need to maintain it; calls for constructive dialogue and continued reforms.
  2. Stresses that Georgia's future must be determined by its people, free from external pressure; condemns attempts to undermine democratic institutions.
  3. Takes note of election observation findings: legal framework adequate, but elections held in polarised environment with reports of pressure and compromised ballot secrecy.
  4. Calls on all sides to work constructively, observe rule of law, address ODIHR and Venice Commission recommendations; calls for EU dialogue with new government and respect for election outcome.
  5. Rejects the 'family values and protection of minors' law as an attack on LGBTQI+ community and threat to civil liberties, including media censorship.
  6. Notes that the 'transparency of foreign influence' law risks labelling NGOs and media as 'foreign agents'.
  7. Emphasises fundamental freedoms of expression, assembly and protest; concerned over disproportionate force against demonstrators; quotes UN High Commissioner on necessity and proportionality.
  8. Emphasises that foreign assistance must be based on need and human dignity, not geopolitical interests; should remain impartial and transparent.
  9. Regrets abolition of mandatory gender quotas; reiterates need for balanced gender representation; calls on government to undertake initiatives.
  10. Takes note of Russian Foreign Minister's statements and willingness of Georgian officials to resolve issues peacefully; encourages solid initiatives.
