Before the start of spring session Georgian Young Lawyers Association GYLA addresses Parliament to closely examine following draft laws: Draft Law on Amendments to the Georgian Law on Broadcasting, Law on the Occupied Territories and Freedom Charter.
As the head of GYLA Tamar Chugoshvili stated at the press conference, GYLA hopes that the changes and amendments to Georgian Law on Broadcasting will ensure real transparency of the owners of broadcasting companies and their financial state.
GYLA categorically opposes adoption of Freedom Charter in the existing form. According to Chugoshvili, some norms of Freedom Charter do not make sense at all. The contextual and grammatical complications create a danger of human rights violation. It aims at regulation of wide range of relations but does not ensure their thorough regulation and implementation.
As for the third draft law which envisages the changes to the Law on the Occupied Territories, according to GYLA, the corresponding change imposes an obligation of inscription of the printed products with the following statement: 20% of Georgian territory is occupied. According to GYLA, there is no crucial need for such change and it disproportionally limits the freedom of expression.
