On April 22, 2024, the Public Defender applied to the OSCE/ODIHR to prepare a conclusion on the draft law related to the cancellation of gender quotas. The Public Defender's Office disseminates information about this.
In addition, the Office of the Ombudsman urges the Parliament of Georgia not to allow the bill to proceed further until the conclusions of the Venice Commission and the OSCE/ODIHR are published.
"The above-mentioned draft law was announced to the public on April 1, and as a result of the accelerated discussion, on April 4, it was adopted by all three readings. The public defender responded to the draft law with a public statement and evaluated it negatively. On April 17, the President of Georgia vetoed the bill and returned it to the Parliament with motivated remarks.
As it is known, based on the appeal of the Monitoring Committee of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe, the Venice Commission is also preparing an opinion on the draft law.
"The Public Defender of Georgia calls on the Parliament of Georgia not to allow the bill to proceed further until the conclusions of the Venice Commission and the OSCE/ODIHR are published and to ensure compliance of each decision with human rights standards," the statement said.
