GRETA is responsible for monitoring the implementation of the Convention by the parties and for drawing up reports evaluating the measures taken by each party. In accordance with Article 38, paragraph 1, of the Convention, GRETA evaluates the implementation of the Convention following a procedure divided into rounds. At the beginning of each round, GRETA selects the specific provisions of the Convention on which the evaluation procedure is based. The first round of monitoring of the Convention provided an overview of its implementation by State Parties. The second evaluation round of the Convention examined the impact of legislative, policy and practical measures on the prevention of trafficking in human beings, the protection of the rights of victims of trafficking, and the prosecution of traffickers, paying particular attention to measures taken to address new trends in human trafficking and the vulnerability of children to trafficking. GRETA has decided that the third evaluation round of the Convention will focus on trafficking victims’ access to justice and effective remedies, which is essential for victims’ rehabilitation and reinstatement of rights, and reflects a victim-centred and human-rights based approach to the fight against human trafficking. A number of provisions of the Convention establishing substantive and procedural obligations are relevant to this topic, in particular articles 12, 15, 23, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30 and 32. Access to justice and effective remedies is contingent on the fulfilment of a number of preconditions, including prompt and accurate identification of victims of trafficking, the provision of a recovery and reflection period, the availability of material, psychological, medical and legal assistance, access to translation and interpretation, when appropriate, regularisation of the victim’s stay, the right to seek and enjoy asylum, and full respect for the principle of non-refoulement. These preconditions, corresponding to various provisions of the Convention, have been examined at length during the first and second evaluation rounds of monitoring of the Convention. Consequently, GRETA has decided to ask each State Party for an update on the implementation of GRETA’s previous recommendations on selected topics through a separate country-specific part of the questionnaire. GRETA’s findings and analysis of these topics are presented in a separate chapter. 4 GRETA(2021)02 Executive summary Since the second evaluation round of the implementation of the Council of Europe Convention on Action against Trafficking in Human Beings, Georgia has continued to develop the legislative and policy framework relevant to action against trafficking in human beings. In 2018, amendments were made to the Criminal Code and Criminal Procedure Code to ensure proper qualification of human trafficking offences and facilitate the collection of evidence. National anti-trafficking action plans were adopted for the periods 2017-2018 and 2019-2020. Georgia is primarily a country of origin and, to a lesser extent, a country of destination and transit of victims of trafficking in human beings. The total number of victims identified in the period 2015-2019 was 66. Until 2018, the majority of the identified victims were women trafficked for the purpose of sexual exploitation, but in 2019 all identified victims were Georgian children, trafficked for the purpose of production of child sexual abuse images or exploitation of begging. The focus of the third evaluation round of the Convention being on trafficking victims’ access to justice and effective remedies, the report analyses in detail the implementation of provisions of the Convention establishing substantive and procedural obligations relevant to this topic. The authorities have developed an information brochure – available in three languages – which explains the services available to victims of human trafficking. Nevertheless, GRETA considers that the Georgian authorities should provide officials with continuous training and instructions on how to properly explain to victims of trafficking their rights and systematically refer them to the State Fund for the Protection and Assistance to Victims of Trafficking or specialised NGOs for support and assistance. In criminal proceedings, the right to free legal aid is ensured to adult and child victims of human trafficking and provided by lawyers of the State Fund and the State Legal Aid Service. These lawyers undergo annual training on human trafficking issues. Free legal aid is also available in civil and administrative proceedings under certain conditions.

  • GEORGIA: True Orthodox Fear Church-Destroyers Will Escape Justice
    FORUM 18 NEWS SERVICE, Oslo, Norway http://www.forum18.org/ The right to believe, to worship and witness The right to change one's belief or religion The right to join together and express one's belief This article was published by F18News on: 7 April 2003 GEORGIA: True Orthodox fear church-destroyers will escape justice By Felix Corley, Forum 18 News Service <http://www.forum18.org> True Orthodox leaders have expressed concern that the apparent closure of the criminal investigation into those guilty of destroying a True Orthodox Church in the village of Shemokmedi in south western Georgia last October will allow them to escape punishment. Deputy procurator Pridon Chanturia ordered the case to be closed on the grounds that "it was impossible to identify the organiser, encourager or perpetrator of the aforementioned criminal act". However, the chief procurator of Ozurgeti district, Yakov Iadolidze, categorically denied to Forum 18 News Service that the investigation has stopped. "The guilty will be prosecuted and there will be a criminal trial." But True Orthodox priest Fr Gela Aroshvili rejected Iadolidze's claim that the case was continuing. "He's lying. If that's so, why did they send us the 18 January decision declaring that the case was being closed?" True Orthodox leaders have expressed concern that the apparent closure of the criminal investigation into those guilty of destroying a newly-built True Orthodox Church in the village of Shemokmedi in south western Georgia last October will allow them to escape punishment. In a decision dated 18 January but which was given to the True Orthodox only in late March, deputy procurator of Ozurgeti region Pridon Chanturia ordered the case to be closed on the grounds that "it was impossible to identify the organiser, encourager or perpetrator of the aforementioned criminal act".

  • The Curious Case of Rustavi-2 PROTECTING MEDIA FREEDOM and the RULE of LAW in GEORGIA
    The Curious Case of Rustavi-2 PROTECTING MEDIA FREEDOM AND THE RULE OF LAW IN GEORGIA PONARS Eurasia Policy Memo No. 400 November 2015 Cory Welt1 George Washington University Rustavi-2 is the most popular television channel in Georgia. It has the most advertising revenue and airs most of the country’s top-watched programs, including news shows. In opinion polls, over 80 percent of respondents say they regularly watch the station (and Imedi, Georgia’s second most popular channel). This is why a controversial Tbilisi court decision to take the station away from its opposition-affiliated owners has caused such consternation. It has raised questions about media freedom and judicial independence under the watch of the Georgian Dream ruling coalition, which came to power in protest against former president Mikheil Saakashvili’s government, which frequently disregarded both. The present government has pledged to adopt democratic European values and is working to implement governance reforms as part of an EU association agreement. Whether the legal process can now right itself will be an important test of Georgia’s democratic standing. Ideally, potential injustices leading to Rustavi-2’s current ownership status can still be properly investigated and remedied. But this should not come at the cost of rule of law abuses and the undermining of Georgia’s democratic media environment. The Politics Around Rustavi-2 In addition to being popular, Rustavi-2 has a reputation for being close to politics. The station was a fierce critic of Eduard Shevardnadze and an active supporter of the 2003 Rose Revolution that brought Saakashvili to power.
