Resolution 1801 (2011)
17. Georgia is the most multi-ethnic country in the Caucasus. The Assembly therefore welcomes the continuous efforts by the Georgian authorities to improve the integration of the different minorities in Georgian society. The Assembly calls upon the authorities to:
17.1. step up their efforts to improve the participation of national minorities in public life;
17.2. improve the system of language education for national minorities, including the teaching of minority languages and Georgian as a second language;
17.4. step up their efforts to fight any forms of intolerance and hate speech on the basis of ethnicity, faith, gender or sexual orientation.
18. The Assembly welcomes the adoption of the National Concept for Tolerance and Integration, as well as the establishment of an inter-agency commission on minority issues, to facilitate the implementation of the Framework Convention for the Protection of National Minorities. One of the outstanding accession commitments of Georgia is the adoption of a comprehensive law on national minorities. The Assembly would be prepared to consider that this accession commitment has been fulfilled provided a comprehensive legal framework for the protection of national minorities contained in a number of specialised laws is in place which is, according to the opinion of the Advisory Committee on the Framework Convention, adequate and fully in line with European standards.
19. Religious freedom and tolerance are fundamental principles to further social cohesion and the consolidation of a democratic society. The Assembly is therefore concerned by the lack of a proper legal status of, and legal protection for, denominations and faiths other than the Georgian Orthodox Church. The Assembly therefore calls on the Georgian authorities to:
19.1. adopt a specific law on religion that would offer proper and equal legal status and protection to all faiths and denominations in the country;
19.2. resolve the outstanding issues regarding the return to their respective denominations of historic religious properties confiscated during the Soviet era.
20. The Assembly regrets that Georgia, 10 years after joining the Council of Europe, has not yet honoured its accession commitment of signing the European Charter for Regional and Minority Languages. It calls upon the Georgian authorities to sign and ratify the Charter without further delay.
21.1. conduct a proper evaluation of the results of the current repatriation application process, as soon as all applications have been decided upon;
21.2. show maximum flexibility with regard to formalities to ensure that no applications are refused on technical grounds only;
21.3. develop, without further delay, a comprehensive and efficient mechanism for repatriation and re-integration.
