LONDON, Jan 29 – Britain, Canada, Germany and 21 other OSCE members on Thursday said they would launch an expert mission to examine the deteriorating human rights situation in Georgia.
In a joint statement, the countries said that in December 2024, 38 participating states invoked the OSCE’s Vienna Mechanism to express concern about developments in Georgia and to request further information from the authorities.
“However, our concerns about the Georgian authorities’ implementation of shared human‑dimension commitments and international human rights obligations have only increased,” the statement, published on the British government’s website, said.
The OSCE is an organisation of 57 participating states — including former Cold War adversaries the United States and Russia — as well as countries across Europe, Central Asia and North America.
