Civil Georgia (10 April 2025)

On April 10, the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) adopted resolution on “Challenge, on substantive grounds, of the still unratified credentials of the parliamentary delegation of Georgia” with 89 votes in favor, 3 against, and 5 abstentions. The assembly issued a stern rebuke to the Georgian authorities, citing “rapid democratic backsliding” and warned that continued deterioration in governance could undermine the country’s standing within the organization.

The resolution follows up on Resolution 2585 (2025), which previously challenged the credentials of the Georgian parliamentary delegation over concerns about human rights and democratic standards. PACE noted with regret that, despite the ratification of the delegation’s credentials, all its members subsequently resigned, leaving Georgia without representation in the Assembly — a move it characterized as a rejection of dialogue and a violation of obligations.
