Today, the number of cases against Georgia in the European Court is at a very low level - if we compare it in a 15-year perspective, the number of cases has decreased by 93%, - the First Deputy Minister of Justice of Georgia, Beka Dzamashvili, told journalists.

According to him, this indicator confirms that the standard of human rights protection in Georgia is ensured at a very high level.

“The report, which is presented to the Parliament, shows general trends, on the one hand, how progress is being made within the country in terms of protecting human rights. We also have the opportunity to compare it with the situation in other European countries. According to the report, the data presented clearly confirms that the number of cases against Georgia in the European Court today is at a very low level. If we compare it in a 15-year perspective, if we compare 2011 with 2026, the number of cases has decreased by 93%. This indicator is so high that it naturally implies the effectiveness of the reforms implemented in the justice system, because people go to the Strasbourg Court when they are dissatisfied with the justice system at the national level. Secondly, this data, which is presented, is also a better indicator than 29 European states. 19 out of 29 states are members of the European Union, therefore, this is also a clear proof, an objective assessment of the fact that in Georgia the standard of human rights protection is ensured at a very high level.

There is no state in Europe where this indicator is at 0%. There are such cases against absolutely every state. The main cases, a large group that stands out, concern domestic violence, discrimination, as well as ill-treatment that took place years ago. 84% of such cases are related to facts that occurred before 2012,” said Beka Dzamashvili.
