The Coalition Addresses the Prime Minister of Georgia
We hereby appeal to you about the process of selection of judgeship candidates from Georgia for the European Court of Human Rights.
As you may know, December 14, 2015 Decree of the Government of Georgia No. 623 establishes a government commission for the purpose of selecting judgeship candidates from Georgia for the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) and nominating shortlisted candidates to the Government of Georgia for their consideration.
The coalition welcomes the Government’s initiative to designate a commission for selection of judgeship candidates for the Court, despite the fact that law does not provide any such obligation.
