Tbilisi. Certain high officials of Georgia have recently made a number of statements aimed at discrediting the leaders of non-governmental organizations working in the most important areas for the democratic development of Georgia, such as monitoring of elections and performance of state institutions, prevention of corruption and protection of human rights.

The Public Defender of Georgia reminds the authorities of the international obligations imposed by the United Nations, the OSCE, the Council of Europe and other international organizations on states to promote the activities of human rights defenders.
