  • The Russian Federation has been ordered to pay up to 130 million euros in compensation to approximately 24,000 Georgian citizens affected by the conflict;
  • All cases related to the August war, totaling up to 3,300, brought against Georgia by residents of the Tskhinvali region under Russian coordination, have been successfully defended;
  • Georgia also prevailed in the interstate dispute regarding the so-called "continuous occupation" case;
  • The investigation into the Russia-Georgia war case at the Hague Court has been completed. Arrest warrants have been issued for three individuals accused of committing crimes against the Georgian population.
