Georgia Wins Another Historic Victory Against Russia at the Strasbourg Court

After a thorough analysis of the evidence of violations committed by Russia against the population of Georgia in the August 2008 war, on January 20, 2022, the Government of Georgia submitted a complex legal position and evidence to the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) regarding the compensation of the affected persons.

The ECHR ordered the Russian Federation to pay up to 130 million euros for the benefit of up to 24,000 Georgian citizens who suffered during the war.

The decision enforcement procedure will continue in the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe, and after Russia pays the compensation, the money will be distributed to the victims.

The Ministry of Justice of Georgia thanks the state agencies involved in the collection of evidence.

The Government of Georgia will continue to actively protect the interests of the state in international courts, and the public will be constantly informed about this.
