A workshop on legal approximation with the European Union was held at the Ministry of Justice of Georgia, organized by the Department of European Union Law.

Participants reviewed the proposals and recommendations developed by the Department aimed at further aligning national legislation with EU entrepreneurship law. In particular, the discussion focused on practical aspects of transposing EU Directives 2017/828 on shareholder rights and 2019/1151 on digital tools and processes.

The workshop also included an assessment of the current level of compliance of Georgian legislation with EU law, within the framework of the country’s obligations under its association with the European Union.

The Ministry of Justice of Georgia, through the Department of European Union Law, continues to record and monitor the process of legislative approximation with the EU on a regular basis.

The event was attended by Deputy Ministers of Justice, Merab Turava and Giorgi Dgebuadze, along with representatives of the Ministry’s Analytical Department.

The Georgian delegation to the Working Group on Humanitarian and Human Rights Issues was led by Deputy Minister of Justice, Beka Dzamashvili. The delegation also included representatives from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Office of the State Minister for Reconciliation and Civic Equality, as well as the heads of the Government of the Autonomous Republic of Abkhazia and the Temporary Administration of the former South Ossetian Autonomous Region.

The discussions focused on the continued and systematic violations of human rights in the occupied territories. It was emphasized that the European Court of Human Rights has already recognized the responsibility of the Russian Federation for the violations of fundamental rights and has confirmed the unconditional obligation to ensure the safe and dignified return of internally displaced persons to their homes. The Ministry of Justice actively leverages the outcomes of these international court rulings in the framework of the Geneva International Discussions.

The Geneva Discussions are facilitated by representatives of the European Union, the United Nations, and the OSCE.

The next round of talks is scheduled for November 11–12, 2025.

The Ministry of Justice, in close coordination with other state institutions, remains committed to the vigorous defense of Georgia’s interests before international courts and relevant international mechanisms.
