Deputy Minister of Justice Presents Report to Georgian Parliament on Strasbourg Court Decisions
At a joint session of the Parliamentary Committees on Human Rights, Civil Integration, and Legal Affairs, Deputy Minister of Justice, Beka Dzamashvili presented reports on the implementation status of decisions issued against Georgia by the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) and various UN committees.
The report highlighted a significant decrease in the number of pending cases against Georgia before the Strasbourg Court. According to ECHR statistics, as of 2025, the number of such cases has dropped by 94% compared to 2011. Furthermore, since 2012, the Court has not admitted a single complaint originating from the Georgian penitentiary system.
This notable decline is attributed to the large-scale reforms carried out by the Georgian government in recent years, aimed at strengthening human rights protections and the justice system. As a result, Georgian citizens are now better equipped to defend their rights domestically. It was also noted that 85% of the 118 cases executed by the Strasbourg Court were implemented after 2013.
The Deputy Minister emphasized that all cases related to the 2008 war and the ongoing occupation were resolved in Georgia’s favor. The execution of these decisions against the Russian Federation is currently underway within the framework of the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe.
In accordance with the Rules of Procedure of the Parliament of Georgia, the Ministry of Justice submits an annual report to Parliament detailing the execution of decisions issued by the European Court of Human Rights and UN committees against the country.
