The UN permanent representatives visited the village of Khurvaleti at the occupation line with breakaway Tskhinvali and an IDP settlement in Tserovani. They also travelled to Georgia's seaside region of Adjara and eastern region of Kakheti.
The permanent representatives are scheduled to leave Georgia on April 21.
Giving the example of the tragic death of Archil Tatunashvili in Russian occupied region of Tskhinvali (South Ossetia), Georgia’s permanent representative to the United Nations (UN) Kaha Imnadze said the Russian occupation has turned Georgia’s Abkhazia and Tskhinvali regions into territories where murder and torture are unaccounted for.
The United Nations (UN) Human Rights Council has adopted a new resolution on Cooperation with Georgia supporting the country's territorial integrity and sovereignty within its internationally recognized borders.
Georgian Prime Minister Mamuka Bakhtadze addressed the world in Georgian from the UN high tribune yesterday and urged Russia to fulfill its obligations and withdraw its occupation forces from the Georgian territory.
The United Nations (UN) Secretary-General António Guterres has defined 12 areas of concern, mentioning Georgia in terms of "removing the paralysis that has let European conflicts fester and freeze”. He believes that all challenges demand an investment of time, money, energy, political capital and more.
