“Mr. Nanuashvili's long standing commitment to the defence of Human Rights will help to enhance a more effective handling of individual complaints; and will also increase the awareness of human rights among state institutions and Georgian citizens.
The EU is committed to work along with the Ombudsman in a spirit of genuine partnership in order to support and ensure the respect of the human rights.
Background
