Amendment No. 11 | Doc. 13588 | 30 September 2014
The functioning of democratic institutions in Georgia
In the draft resolution, paragraph 5.4, replace the first sentence with the following sentence:
"while welcoming the recent decrease in its use, the Assembly encourages the authorities to take further measures to limit the use of pre-trial detention in Georgia."
Explanatory note
The use of pre-trial detention is no longer widespread in Georgia. The approval of pre-trial detention has dropped very significantly to 26.7% of cases in 2013, as compared to 42.4% in 2012. This reflects the new independence of the judiciary.
