The “Porto Declaration and Resolutions” adopted by the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly includes a resolution on Georgia titled “Resolution on Supporting Democracy and OSCE Values in Georgia.”

According to the resolution, the OSCE:

1. Expresses deep concern over the conduct of the parliamentary elections held in Georgia on October 26, 2024, during which the OSCE Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights (ODIHR) election observation mission identified numerous violations in the electoral process;

2. Is concerned about violations of electoral procedures and the unprecedented scale of the use of administrative resources, which undermine the principles of freedom and equality in Georgia’s election process and the legitimacy of the results;

3. Condemns the disproportionate use of force against peaceful protesters who are firmly standing up for Georgia’s European and democratic future;

4. Is concerned about the arrests of journalists, activists, and opposition politicians, as well as politically motivated persecution;

5. Expresses disappointment that the Georgian authorities are using all available means to consolidate power, including the adoption of new laws on “foreign agent registration,” “radio and television,” and “grants”;

6. Notes that the situation in Georgia continues to deteriorate, with the government moving further away from the path of European integration;

7. Expresses deep concern over the growing anti-EU rhetoric and the framing of the European Union as completely unacceptable;

8. Is extremely concerned that the strengthening of ties with the Russian Federation and China raises serious doubts in the context of Georgia’s declared European aspirations.

The OSCE Parliamentary Assembly:

9. Calls on the Georgian authorities to:

a. De-escalate the situation and engage in a national dialogue with all interested parties in order to find a solution to the current crisis and restore public trust in Georgian democracy;

b. Respect the right to freedom of assembly and freedom of expression, and refrain from using force against peaceful protesters, politicians, and members of the media;

c. Return to the path of European Union integration;

10. Continues to support the pro-European aspirations of the Georgian people, demonstrating firm commitment to democratic values and a vision of the country's future within Europe;

11. Reaffirms its support for Georgia’s territorial integrity and sovereignty within its internationally recognized borders;

12. Calls on the Russian Federation to revoke its recognition of Georgia’s regions of Abkhazia and South Ossetia as independent states, to implement the 2008 ceasefire agreement brokered by the European Union, and to end the militarization of these regions and the attempts to separate them from the rest of Georgia by force.
