At its June 20 session, the Parliament’s Human Rights Committee will review a legislative package which, if enacted, will allow victims who have suffered property damage as a result of certain crimes to receive compensation through a simplified procedure.

The “Georgian Dream” party’s draft legislation will be discussed in its first reading, at the level of general principles.

The amendments affect five different laws: the Criminal Code, the Criminal Procedure Code, the Law on Enforcement Proceedings, the Law on Crime Prevention, Execution of Non-Custodial Sentences and Probation, and the Law on the Rules of Entry and Exit of Georgian Citizens to and from Georgia.

The key innovation in the legislative package is the introduction of a mechanism through which a victim who has suffered property damage from specific crimes under criminal law will be able to receive compensation from the convicted person via a simplified process. The draft law introduces a mechanism that allows the victim to be compensated not only from the criminal’s own assets, including the seized object of the crime, but also from assets seized from close relatives or related persons.

According to the proposed legislative changes, liability for compensation will apply if crimes are committed under the following articles of the Criminal Code:

Article 177, paragraph 4(b);

Article 178, paragraph 4(b);

Article 179, paragraph 3(g);

Article 180, paragraph 3(b);

Article 181, paragraph (g);

Article 182, paragraph 3(b);

Article 183;

Article 185(b);

Article 187;

Article 215;

Article 219, paragraph 2(b);

Article 259²;

Article 259⁴;

Article 397.

Within the scope of this initiative, a ban on leaving the country is also introduced as a form of social protection. The duration of the travel ban will be twice the statutory rehabilitation period (after a conviction) for less serious, serious, and especially serious crimes:

6 years for less serious crimes;

12 years for serious crimes;

16 years for especially serious crimes.

The legislative package also addresses the issue of a victim’s death – in such cases, the right to simplified compensation for property damage as determined by a court verdict will transfer to the heirs or legal successors of the deceased.
