g. Social, economic and cultural rights
Concerning the issues associated with the right to employment and the conditions of
work, the ILO Committee of Experts noted the disadvantageous position of women in the
labour market and restricted rights of trade unions. CRC, CEDAW and CERD reported a high
level of poverty, affecting in particular women and children. The United Nations
Development Assistance Framework (UNDAF) noted the difficulties in maintaining an
adequate level of healthcare and problem of infant mortality rates, but at the same time
progress in sexual education. The Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS)
reported significant progress in the field of preventing HIV/AIDS infections, noting, however,
that further effort was required. The condition of the educational sector was analysed by CRC.
The Committee recommended that the State increase budget allocations to schools, in
particular in regions inhabited by minorities.
h. Rights of minorities
CERD positively evaluated the measures taken by Georgia to protect the rights of
minorities, at the same time noting the need to strengthen their representation in public life
and stressing the language issues.
i. Internally displaced persons
The Representative of the Secretary-General on Human Rights of internally displaced
persons reported, after a number of visits to Georgia, numerous groups of “old” persons
displaced from South Ossetia and Abkhazia and “new” persons displaced as a result of the
2008 armed conflict. The Representative acknowledged the measures taken by the State
authorities to guarantee protection of the rights of displaced persons and to establish an
infrastructure to enable their normal existence. The Representative’s recommendations
include suggestions to carefully evict displaced persons from collective centres.
j. Situation in specific regions or territories
The Representative of the Secretary-General on Human Rights of internally displaced
persons expressed his regret about the fact that access to certain regions of the country was
restricted due to legal and administrative obstacles. The Representative urged all the parties
involved to enable the displaced persons to return home and recover the property they had
abandoned. UNHCR noted the strict laws regulating economic activities and citizenship,
imposed by Georgia and, de facto, also by Abkhazia.
