Human rights in Georgia
Human rights in Georgia are guaranteed by the country's constitution. There is an independent human rights ''public defender'' elected by the parliament to ensure such rights are enforced.〔(Georgia's public defender )〕 However, it has been alleged by Amnesty International,〔(Amnesty International on Georgia ) 〕 Human Rights Watch, the United States Department of State〔(US State Department human rights report on Georgia )〕 and the Georgian opposition〔(Georgia International Media Centre on human rights ) 〕 that these rights are often breached.
In addition around 20% of the territory of what was the Georgian SSR is in dispute (occupied in the view of the government in Tbilisi) and there have been frequent allegations of human rights abuses in these territories as well.
== Rights of minorities ==
The government of Georgia has taken positive steps towards protecting religious minorities. Attacks against those of different faiths have subsided since the revolution, and a leader of these attacks, Vasili Mkalavishvili, was arrested and incarcerated by the authorities. Prime Minister Zurab Jvania was a key supporter of allowing religious organisations recognition from the state, but he faced considerable opposition from his own government: his own president said that the state should do what it can to 'protect Georgia from harmful alien influence.' Despite reforms allowing minority churches to register themselves in 2005, the Georgian Orthodox church has a considerable monopoly in Georgia, whilst minority groups find it hard to even build places of worship. The 2002 concordat between the G.O.C. and the Georgian government, is still in place. which grantes the Georgian Orthodox Church a privileged status in Georgia, and endows it with authority over all religious matters. It is the only church that has tax-free status, and it is often consulted in government matters. Together with being free of tax, Georgian Orthodox Church also gets some financing from the government as well. The main reason for this is that the church has always been very active in country's cultural development and just like in most Eastern Orthodox countries, the line between culture and religion is blurred.
Georgia has ratified the Framework Convention for the Protection of National Minorities (FCNM) in 2005. The NGO "Tolerance" points out in 2008 that several of the articles of the FCPNM have been exempted from full implementation by the Georgian parliament. Specifically, provisions regarding full expression in the minority's languages in cultural, educational and administrative matters have been compromised, Tolerance claims. For example, the number of Azerbaijani schools has decreased, and cases of appointing headmasters to Azerbaijani schools who do not speak Azerbaijani are cited.〔(Alternative report on the implementation by Georgia of the Framework Convention for the Protection of National Minorities in the region of Kvemo Kartli — Tbilisi, 2008 — p. 58-59 )〕
