Tbilisi. The Human Rights Education and Monitoring Center has released a statement on the anti-discrimination law. "We believe that adoption of the current version of the Law, which slightly widens the powers of the Public Defender, will not substantially change the legislative and institutional status quo and thus will not become an effective tool for fight against discrimination. ... We hope that the legislative body will organize public and inclusive examination of the draft Law and will be open to acknowledging the proposals and assessments provided by the civil society," the statement states.
