Human rights in Georgia (country)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Human rights in Georgia are guaranteed by the country's constitution. There is an independent human rights Public Defender of Georgia elected by the parliament to ensure such rights are enforced.[1] However, it has been alleged by Amnesty International,[2][3] Human Rights Watch,[4] the United States Department of State[5][6] and the Georgian opposition[7] that these rights are often breached.

In addition, around 20% of the territory of what was the Georgian SSR is in dispute (seen as occupied in the view of the Georgian government in Tbilisi, and by many other countries);[8] there have been frequent allegations of human rights abuses in these territories of Abkhazia and South Ossetia as well.
