The OSCE Parliamentary Assembly adopted the “Hague Declaration,” which includes a resolution on Georgia.

The main sponsor of the resolution “Protecting the Integrity of Elections and Fundamental Freedoms in Georgia” is American Congressman Joe Wilson.

According to the resolution, the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly:

Expresses concern regarding the conduct of the parliamentary elections in Georgia on October 26, 2024, and notes that significant violations were highlighted in the OSCE/ODIHR reports;- Is concerned about reports of signs of fraud at polling stations, vote manipulation, voter bribery, “carousel” voting, and obstruction of opposition observers during the October 2025 local elections;- Condemns the adoption of restrictive legislation, in particular the “Law on Transparency of Foreign Influence,” amendments to the “Law on Assemblies and Manifestations,” and the “Code of Administrative Offenses,” which severely restrict freedoms of association, media, expression, and assembly;- Is concerned about the systematic use of administrative resources and the consolidation of institutional power, which creates an uneven playing field, undermines public trust in the democratic process, and leads to de facto one-party rule;- Condemns the arbitrary arrests and harassment of members of the political opposition, media representatives, and peaceful demonstrators who support Georgia’s democratic and European future;- Reiterates that undermining mechanisms of democratic control and balance, and deviating from commitments undertaken before the OSCE, directly threatens Georgia’s path toward Euro-Atlantic integration;- Emphasizes that the legitimacy of any electoral outcome depends on compliance with international standards for free, fair, and transparent elections.

The OSCE Parliamentary Assembly calls on the Georgian authorities to:

Release all Georgian political prisoners identified by national and international human rights groups;- Repeal all legislation that restricts fundamental freedoms and contradicts Georgia’s commitments to the protection of human rights;- Initiate a comprehensive and transparent investigation into all reported electoral violations during the 2024 and 2025 elections and hold those responsible accountable;- Begin a genuine reform process to restore the independence of the judicial system and the Central Election Commission, in consultation with the Venice Commission and OSCE/ODIHR;- Ensure a safe environment for civil society and independent media so they can operate without fear of retribution.

The OSCE Parliamentary Assembly calls on its members and the international community to:

Continue advocating with the Georgian authorities for the immediate restoration of democratic norms and the organization of future electoral processes in full compliance with OSCE commitments;- Refuse to recognize the results of any elections held in Georgia that are not recognized by credible international and local observation missions as free, fair, and democratic; Continue to closely monitor the human rights situation in Georgia and support the Georgian people in their aspiration toward democratic values.
