Ministry of Justice Holds Round Table Dedicated to the 102nd Anniversary of the First Constitution of Georgia

The round table held today at the Ministry of Justice was dedicated to the adoption of the 1921 Constitution of the Democratic Republic of Georgia: "Constitution of the First Republic of Georgia - Eternal Values". The participants of the event - representatives of the Ministry of Justice, members of the Scientific Advisory Council, heads of legal faculties of Georgian universities, experts in the field of law - discussed the first constitution of Georgia.

The round table was held at the initiative of Minister of Justice, Rati Bregadze.

It was noted at the meeting that the Constitution of Georgia of February 21, 1921, even from today's point of view, looks like an advanced legal act based on the fundamental principles of constitutionalism. The first constitution laid the foundation for a parliamentary government system, proportional elections, independent and impartial justice; it banned the death penalty and declared human rights as the highest value.

At the end of the event, the participants of the discussion received gift editions of the first Constitution of Georgia, which was printed by the Legislative Herald of Georgia specially for this day.
