On June 12, 2025, the Parliament of Georgia adopted a resolution (2025 Resolution) relating to the Public Defender’s 2024 Report on the Situation of Human Rights and Freedoms in Georgia.[1] By the resolution, the Parliament of Georgia instructed state agencies to implement certain recommendations issued in the 2024 Parliamentary Report of the Public Defender.

In the 2024 parliamentary report, the Public Defender addressed a total of 319 recommendations to state agencies, autonomous republic and municipal bodies, as well as officials. The Parliament of Georgia endorsed approximately 78% of the above recommendations (24% of them were partially endorsed). The remaining part of the recommendations has not been reflected in the resolution of the Parliament or is not considered reflected due to the substantial changes in them.

Based on the infographic below, it is clear that the rate of reflecting the Public Defender's recommendations is lower than the respective rate in the resolutions of 2021-2023 and, unfortunately, the dynamics of the decrease has been maintained in this regard. (See photo No. 1).

It should be noted that, unfortunately, the number of recommendations that the Parliament did not reflect in the resolution is still high. Similar to last year, the 2025 Resolution of the Parliament of Georgia did not reflect 44 recommendations of the Public Defender’s 2024 Parliamentary Report. The list of these recommendations is attached to this statement as an appendix. As a trend, it can be said that the recommendations of the Public Defender that the Parliament did not reflect in both the 2024 and 2025 resolutions are similar in terms of topics. (See photo No 2).

The Parliament of Georgia adopts a resolution based on the annual report of the Public Defender of Georgia. By this act, the Parliament assesses the report of the Public Defender of Georgia on the state of protection of human rights and freedoms in the country and gives instructions to state agencies to implement the recommendations issued in the Public Defender’s report. The issuance of instructions by the Parliament places the implementation of the recommendations issued by the Public Defender under parliamentary supervision. For this purpose, the Human Rights and Civil Integration Committee of the Parliament monitors the implementation of the parliamentary tasks by the agencies.

The Public Defender expresses his readiness to cooperate with state agencies in all formats in order to ensure full implementation of the tasks issued by the Parliament.
