Human rights in Georgia are guaranteed by the country's constitution. There is an independent human rights Public Defender of Georgia elected by the parliament to ensure such rights are enforced.[1] However, it has been alleged by Amnesty International,[2][3] Human Rights Watch,[4] the United States Department of State[5][6] and the Georgian opposition[7] that these rights are often breached.
In addition, around 20% of the territory of what was the Georgian SSR is in dispute (seen as occupied in the view of the Georgian government in Tbilisi, and by many other countries);[8] there have been frequent allegations of human rights abuses in these territories of Abkhazia and South Ossetia as well.
