Statement of The Coalition for an ‘Independent and Transparent Judiciary’
Tbilisi. The Coalition for an Independent and Transparent Judiciary responds to the commencement of the selection of Supreme Court Justices and calls on two members of the High Council – Tamar Oniani and Zaza Kharebava, of Justice (the Council) to recuse themselves from the next stages of the review.
“The selection of Supreme Court Justices consists of several stages where each of the Council members’ votes is important. Participation of certain members of the Council in this process while lawfulness of their engagement raises legitimate questions in the society makes it difficult to carry out an objective, fair, and impartial selection of Supreme Court Justices. This may undermine the public trust in this process”, - is mentioned in the Coalition’s statement.
