Tbilisi. The Georgian Young Lawyers' Association, "Transparency International - Georgia" and "Georgian Lawyers for Independent Profession" have released a statement on the judicial reform. The organizations welcome the opinions of the Venice Commission on the draft law developed by the Ministry of Justice, which aims to reform the judicial system in Georgia. "We believe that in light of positions of the Venice Commission and the local NGO sector, there should be a resource for adopting this important draft law through maximum approximation and consensus of positions of the judicial authorities, the government, and parliamentary majority and minority, and not through the regime of harsh confrontation. It is to be hailed that there are certain positive tendencies in this respect and we on our part express readiness to support this process to the extent possible", says the statement.
