The 2023 action plan consists of 4 goals, 7 tasks and 39 activities. It is an action plan for fulfilling the obligations imposed by the Law of Georgia on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities.

The purpose of the action plan is to ensure the further harmonization of Georgian legislation with the provisions of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities and to increase the accessibility of the infrastructure, and services of the Ministry, as well as agencies in its system, for persons with disabilities.

The third action plan in a row was approved by the order of the Minister of Justice of Georgia on April 28. The Analytical Department of the Ministry developed the document. Representatives of public law legal entities and state sub-departmental institutions operating in the sphere of governance of the Ministry participated in the process. The working version of the document was submitted for opinions to the Advisory Council of the Ministry of Justice of Georgia working on the issues of disabled persons, which includes representative organizations of disabled persons, non-governmental organizations and representatives of the disabled community. Most of the received recommendations were reflected in the action plan.

The purpose of the legislative change is to effectively coordinate the process of approximation of Georgian legislation with EU law, which is especially important after Georgia's adoption of the European perspective.

As a result of the amendment to the Organic Law of Georgia on Normative Acts, if the project is developed in order to bring it closer to the EU legal act, the conclusion of the Ministry of Justice of Georgia on compliance with EU law will become binding on the draft laws submitted by the Government of Georgia to the Parliament of Georgia; as well as on drafts of normative acts of the Government of Georgia and some other sub-legal normative acts.

In addition, the receiving/issuing body of the normative act, whose normative act will not be subject to mandatory legal examination, will be authorized to submit the draft of the normative act to the Ministry of Justice of Georgia for a legal opinion of a recommendatory nature regarding its compliance with the legal act of the European Union.

At the committee discussion, it was noted that the adoption of the presented legislative change will be another important step taken by the country towards European integration.

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.
