Acknowledgements Acknowledgements The Georgian security sector is not a well-documented area. Authoritarian systems are not known for the free flow of qualified information, nor for fostering the type of analysis that lends itself to media where information must be in a concentrated form. The editors would like to express their deep gratitude to all those who contributed by writing articles and/or translating and/or shaping some of these articles into publishable entities. They regret that not all articles sent in could be accommodated in this publication, and remain convinced that reforms will eventually make the task of reporting on security sector reform and security sector governance a more joyful and less cumbersome undertaking. The Editors Introduction Georgian Security Sector Governance after the Rose Revolution Philipp H. Fluri and Shorena Lortkipanidze Georgia has been on many an observer’s mind ever since President Eduard Shevardnadze’s regime collapsed. Grave economic and social problems, the “political disillusionment” of the people, grave and ever-increasing systemic corruption and the falsification of the 2003 parliamentary elections eventually led to the “the Rose Revolution” in Georgia – in part by the protégées of Shevardnadze himself. The new Georgian leadership seems to understand the challenges to be addressed in the near future: conducting free, fair and transparent elections (presidential and parliamentary); fighting corruption and organized crime; revamping government institutions and the civil service, which collapsed or withered under Shevardnadze; attracting honest, competent and educated people to the government; delivering pensions, salaries and other social security payments on time; setting the conditions for economic growth and foreign investment to overcome the deep economic crisis (or rather the fact that macro-economic activity in the free market sense hardly exists); managing a difficult relationship with Russia; attempting territorial reintegration while Russian passports are given to inhabitants of the separatist regions. All these tasks need to be addressed on the short term, but will hardly lead to immediate success. The new leadership made some first steps, such structural changes as the modification of the Georgian constitution within a few weeks of the revolution. The government also began reforms in the Ministry of Defence, Ministry of Interior, and across entire fiscal administration system. Reforms in education and the decentralization of power are in the progress now. The change of power alone will not resolve Georgia’s systemic problems. The corruption, economic stagnation, energy shortage, uncontrolled borders and relinquished significant territories to separatists movements supported by Russia in Abkhazia and South Ossetia represent great obstacles for the development of the country. Nor are Georgian and international commentators agreed on their interpretation of the “Rose Revolution” Remarks such as those that suggest the “Georgian revolution may be the model for dissolving dictatorship in other former Soviet republics…Democrats in countries such as Belarus and Turkmenistan may be learning the lessons of Georgia, just as Saakashvili and his friends learned their lessons from the Serbian revolutionaries,” are circulating on the international scene. But there are also critical assessments of the revolution and its post-revolution implications. It will be difficult for Georgia to both overcome and retain some revolutionary spirit. The focus of our interest is security sector and the governance after revolution. In many ways the general security situation of Georgia can be said to have improved after the revolution. But the main issue for Georgian Security Policy and Security Sector Governance is to assess threats and challenges to its security and to design forces and services capable of dealing with these threats and challenges. The situation remains fragile and the requirements to modernize the security sector remains of major importance to the stability of Georgia. Currently the defence planning system remains limited as a National Security Concept has not yet been worked out and decided about. The new system as is implied in the IPAP (Individual Partnership Action Plan with NATO) is being elaborated The NATO-Georgia relationship is a very important point to be addressed. NATO membership has public support in Georgia. The Parliament of Georgia has already confirmed that membership in NATO is a high priority of Georgian security and foreign policy. On September 13, 2002, the “Resolution on the Beginning of the Process of Accession to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO)” was passed. The “Interagency Governmental Commission After Shevardnadze: Georgian Security Sector Governance of Euro-Atlantic Integration”, established by presidential decree, elaborated a “State Program of Euro-Atlantic Integration.” In December 2002 the National Security Council of Georgia approved this programme. The political will to membership in the Euro-Atlantic Structures grew in strength after the Rose Revolution. But again, only political will is not enough for the democratic and economically effective transformation of a country. In this book we will seek to give a concrete picture of how the security sector in Georgia looks after the “Rose Revolution”. Georgian and international experts will address the issue of post-authoritarian internal security (David Darchiashvili), power elites in Georgia (Zurab Chiaberashvili and Gigi Tevzadze), the legal provisions for the deployment of foreign forces in Georgia: (Mindia Vashakmadze) , the role of regional and international organisations in Georgia (Heidemaria Gürer), successes and failures of International Observer Missions (Axel Wohlgemuth), the legal framework of Security Sector Governance in Georgia and its effectiveness (Mindia Vashakmadze), the place of civilians in national security structures and Civil-Military Relations in Georgia (Tamara Pataraia), military justice and the military service appeals system (Irakli Sesiashvili) and the role of domestic and international NGOs (Duncan Hiscock). The analytical chapters will be joined by Conclusions and Recommendations by Dov Lynch and Antje Fritz Reform as a Process – Status and Prospects What, then, have been the major reforms in the security sector since the Rose Revolution, and what can we expect from the Saakashvili government in the future? The strong political will to implement legal and systemic reforms and to transform the whole political system can play a very important role in the creation of a new security environment in Georgia. On the other hand, for the newly independent state having no democratic tradition, the major goal was and is to establish reliable and effective security structures, to find funding for and to coordinate their activities and to democratically watch and control them. The “Rose Revolution”, which was followed by constitutional changes and fast reform of the so-called “power ministries”, much stressed the need to adapt the laws overseeing and regulating the security sector. The Law “On the Structure and Activity of Executive Bodies” identifies the list of ministries and departments belonging to the security sector: 1. The Ministry of Defence 2. The Ministry of the Interior 3. The Ministry of State Security 4. The State Department of the Border Guard Service 5. The Intelligence Department 6. The Special Service for State Protection This law, though still in power today, does not address services which still exist in reality. They have been reformed without the legal basis having been created: the State Department of Border Guard was integrated into the Ministry of Interior, the Intelligence Department was incorporated into the Ministry of State Security. In the constitution of Georgia the division of labour between parliament and executive branch are defined as following: • The Parliament of Georgia determines the main directions of the country's domestic and foreign policy via standing parliamentary committees, carries out legislative work, adopts state budget, and ensures control over implementation of current tasks. • The Government of Georgia, as the executive authority, bears responsibility for the activities of state agencies operating in the field of security and defence. It is liable to After Shevardnadze: Georgian Security Sector Governance provide these agencies with all necessary material resources and funds in accordance with the decisions of the parliament or the decrees of the President within the limits of its constitutional power. The democratic control of the security sector first of all means parliamentary oversight of the MoD budgets, legislative actions regarding soldiers’ rights, and the program of civil education in security related matters. Generally, the exercise of democratic control through parliamentary oversight has improved, with the strongest emphasis on the Ministry of Defence. However, much of the enthusiasm for genuinely parliamentary committee work seems to have vanished since the revolution. For a better understanding of the current trends in the security sector it will help to review each service within the security sector.. Reforms in the Defence Services After the revolution the first step towards reforms in the Ministry of Defence was the appointment of a civilian minister of defence. This had for years been one of the main recommendations made by the ISAB (International Security Advisory Board) to the Georgian government. A Defence

  • Georgia: an Emerging Governance: Problems and Prospects
    Chapter 12 Georgia: An Emerging Governance: Problems and Prospects Dov Lynch Introduction Even if the Republic of Georgia has existed independently since 1992, it remains logical to discuss security sector governance as an emerging question. For much of the early 1990s, applying the notion of ‘security sector governance’ to a state at war and barely on its feet stretched the concept too far. The Georgian state embarked on a process of consolidation from 1995 onwards, initiated with the approval of a Constitution, and Georgia experienced thereafter several years of growth and relative political stability. In the late 1990s and early 2000s, the main lines of security sector reform were formulated on paper, and limited changes were effected in the Ministry of Defence and the armed forces. However, as a whole, security sector reform remains an emerging concern in so far as most of the work remains ahead for the new Georgian leadership in terms of addressing a distorted legacy, clarifying the scope of problems and prioritising amongst them, sketching out a coherent programme and implementing it. Two points should be noted from the outset. The first concerns the security sector in Georgia, the number of the agents involved and the nature of their interaction. Many have argued that the notion of ‘security sector reform’ is useful in drawing attention away from more limited understandings of military reform. Traditional discussions of civil- military relations tended to focus on the dyadic relationship between civilian political structures and a professional military agency. By contrast, reforming the security sector entails a more complex 249 understanding of these two poles and adds new actors to the picture1.

    The Role of the United Nations in the Georgian-Abkhazian Conflict SUSAN STEWART The Mannheim Centre for European Social Research, University of Mannheim, Germany Issue 2/2003 EUROPEAN CENTRE FOR MINORITY ISSUES (ECMI) Schiffbrücke 12 (Kompagnietor Building) D-24939 Flensburg Germany ( +49-(0)461-14 14 9-0 fax +49-(0)461-14 14 9-19 e-mail: [email protected] internet: http://www.ecmi.de The Role of the United Nations in the Georgian-Abkhazian Conflict* SUSAN STEWART The Mannheim Centre for European Social Research, University of Mannheim, Germany This article analyses UNOMIG efforts at stabilization and mediation in the Georgian-Abkhazian conflict, arguing that while progress in both realms has been slight, there is reason to conclude that stabilization attempts have been more successful than those of mediation. The author contends that difficulties in the mediation sphere can largely be attributed to UN insistence on Georgian territorial integrity and on a comprehensive settlement including continued substantial progress on the question of Abkhazia’s political status. While coordination between the CIS peacekeepers and the UN has proceeded smoothly, the multidimensional involvement of the Russian Federation has complicated the constellation of actors surrounding the conflict. Owing to these external as well as other internal factors, the author concludes that the outlook for Georgian-Abkhazian negotiations in the short to medium term appears bleak, but that the conclusions drawn from the role of the UN in the Georgian-Abkhazian conflict can be useful for understanding difficulties the UN is likely to encounter in similar interventions. I. Introduction The recent war in Iraq has again called into question the potential role of the United Nations in world affairs.

The direct involvement of the public authorities in the landscaped drawing constitutes a well anchored tradition. Sufficient to remind the statues of Lenin, propaganda posters, or the folkorisation of the city through the restoration of "Old Tbilisi" in late Soviet time to understand that issues at stakes in transforming the urban cityscape are not only economic (real estate speculation, etc..) but also highly political: it aims at erasing the traces of the Soviet past and at making visible the governmental program of modernization, including in its rationalist and hygienist dimension, and rapprochement with the West.

WatermarkPage 1 of 36 Nature of Risk Rating Summary Political: Risks 2.75 The situation in Georgia is uncertain in the aftermath of the military conflict with Russia, but it is clear that the state will remain functioning, even if the separatist republics claim chunks of its territory (highly unlikely). The economy will pay the price of military damage, although most importantly, crucial elements of the country's infrastructure such as bridges and mountain tunnels have remained intact. President Mikhail Saakashvili, who essentially triggered the hostilities by ordering a Georgian offensive on South Ossetia, will have to fight to retain his seat, which he only won for the second term in January 2008. Given the popular consensus in the face of the Russian offensive, however, Saakashvili may well rely on his charismatic turns to actually elevate and strengthen his domestic position. The government will also remain committed to its economic reform policy, although most of the legislation and regulation is already in place. Economic: Risks 3.50 Georgia is a poor country with weak external financial and trade links outside Russia and the Commonwealth of Independent States. The collapse in growth associated with post-Soviet economic management during the early 1990s was heightened in Georgia's case by a brief civil war on its borders. The economy finally began to recover strongly from its collapsed base in the second half of the 1990s. Although Georgian GDP rose steadily in 1995-2006, growth rates have been highly variable, from lows of about 2% to highs of arou nd 11%.

  • GEORGIA Summary of Amnesty International’S Concerns
    GEORGIA Summary of Amnesty International’s concerns Introduction Since Georgia’s early years of independence, marked by armed hostilities in various parts of the country as well as severe economic dislocation, the country has achieved a greater stability and taken various concrete steps towards building democratic institutions and reforming its judicial and legal systems. Recent moves welcomed by Amnesty International have included the appointment in October 1997 of a Public Defender, a new post introduced under the 1995 Constitution to monitor the defence of individual rights and freedoms, and complete abolition of the death penalty in November that year.1 Amnesty International remains concerned, however, that some of the guarantees and laws adopted to protect human rights are not fully implemented or observed. These areas of concern are described below. This paper also details alleged human rights violations in two areas of Georgia currently outside the de facto control of the Georgian authorities - Abkhazia and South Ossetia. Allegations of torture and ill-treatment in detention “Torture, inhumane, brutal or degrading treatment or punishment” is prohibited under the Georgian Constitution 2, which also forbids the physical or mental coercion of a detainee 3 and rules that evidence obtained by breaking the law is inadmissible and has no legal force.4 It is also a criminal offence for investigators and others to force a person to give testimony by use of threats or other illegal actions.5 These conditions are, of course, in addition to the guarantees against torture contained in the international standards to which Georgia is party. 1 See Concerns in Europe: July to December 1997, AI Index: EUR 01/01/98, February 1998.
