Statement in regard to the process of selection of Chairperson of the Supreme Court
Tbilisi. Human Rights Education and Monitoring Center releases a statement in regard to the process of selection of Chairperson of the Supreme Court.
“On March 9, at a sitting held after a few weeks gap, the High Council of Justice had a discussion about presenting a nominee for Chairperson of the Supreme Court to the Parliament. It is noteworthy that this issue was not mentioned in the agenda preliminarily published by the Council and the public was not informed in advance that the matter would be discussed specifically at the March 9 sitting”, - is noted in the statement, - “We call on the High Council of Justice of Georgia to: carry out the process of selection of a candidate for Chairperson of the Supreme Court openly and transparently; nominate a candidate with relatively high public confidence, which fact should also exclude appointment of a person, having particularly negative reputation, as the Chairperson of the Supreme Court”.
