Georgian Young Lawyers’ Association (GYLA) responds to the developments in the village of Tsintskaro, Tetritskaro District, and reminds the state and the law enforcement authorities in particular about the obligation to protect freedom of religion, and calls them to interfere in the current confrontation between the Christian and the Muslim population; including by means of instituting criminal prosecution where appropriate, as well as undertaking preventive measures by the police to ensure safety of the Muslim population.
GYLA is particularly concerned by the statement of MP Viktor Japaridze released in relation to the Tsintskaro Conflict by Kakheti Information Center.The Coalition believes that the legislative proposal prepared by the Ministry of Justice of Georgia (MOJ) about photography, video recording, filming and audio recording in courtroom reflects the spirit of members of the Coalition about an issue that we believe to be of vital importance.
We’d like to highlight that to ensure judicial transparency we had been conducting negotiations with the High Council of Justice (HCJ) and members of previous parliament but the negotiations had been unsuccessful.Traditionally, Legal Education Assistance Foundation founded by Georgian Young Lawyers’ Association held a moot court competition in the Constitutional Court of Georgia under the name “Young Lawyers for Constitutional Rights”.
For the past six years, the Competition has been arranged in cooperation with the Constitutional Court. As usually, it always coincides with GYLA’s annual traditional event “Human Rights’ Week”. This year, German Foundation for International Legal Cooperation “IRZ” provided financial support.
