Отделение Организации Объединенных Наций в Грузии выразило глубокую озабоченность в связи с повторным внесением в грузинский парламент законопроекта о «прозрачности иностранного влияния». Эксперты считают, что такой закон будет препятствовать нормальному функционированию гражданского общества и работе средств массовой информации.
Организации гражданского общества в Грузии, говорится в заявлении, помогают наиболее уязвимым слоям населения и защищают их права человека. Стигматизация их работы чревата тем, что инвалиды, внутренне перемещенные лица, представители меньшинств, пожилые люди, жертвы домашнего насилия и другие нуждающиеся останутся без эффективной помощи и поддержки.
На протяжении более трех десятилетий, напоминают авторы заявления, ООН остается надежным партнером Грузии, поддерживая развитие страны в соответствии с ее национальными приоритетами.
«Мы также напоминаем о выводах анализа, проведенного ОБСЕ в консультации со Специальным докладчиком ООН по правам на свободу мирных собраний и объединений, – говорится в заявлении, – свидетельствующего о том, что законопроект не соответствует ряду международных обязательств Грузии. Мы призываем парламент отозвать этот законопроект и провести широкие, всеохватывающие и глубокие консультации с широким кругом заинтересованных сторон по вопросам взаимоотношений между государством и гражданским обществом».
Кроме того, отделение Организации Объединенных Наций в Грузии выразила сожаление в связи с тем, что парламент решил использовать ускоренную процедуру для отмены обязательных гендерных квот в списках на парламентских выборах. Гендерные квоты были рекомендованы Грузии Комитетом ООН по ликвидации дискриминации в отношении женщин, и целью их введения была компенсация за системное исключение женщин из процесса принятия политических решений.
«Мы призываем грузинские власти предпринять все необходимые шаги, чтобы избежать действий, которые противоречат международным обязательствам Грузии и рискуют оказать негативное воздействие на грузинскую демократию», – говорится в заявлении.

Civil society organizations in Georgia, as stated in the announcement, help the most vulnerable segments of the population and defend their human rights. Stigmatizing their work risks leaving disabled individuals, internally displaced persons, minority representatives, elderly people, victims of domestic violence, and other needy individuals without effective assistance and support. For over three decades, as the statement’s authors remind, the UN has remained a reliable partner for Georgia, supporting the country’s development in line with its national priorities. “We also recall the findings of the OSCE analysis carried out in consultation with the UN Special Rapporteur on the rights to freedom of peaceful assembly and association,” the statement says, “indicating that the bill does not align with several international commitments of Georgia. We urge the parliament to withdraw this bill and hold broad, inclusive, and thorough consultations with a wide range of stakeholders.”

Does the UN provide any specific examples of how this “Foreign Influence Transparency” bill could hinder the work of civil society organizations and the media in Georgia?
