Archil Kaikatsishvili : the Government should be supported in the process of restoring justice by the civil sector

5 March, 2015

The creation of the Department to Investigate Offences Committed in the Course of Legal Proceedings by the Government, shall  provide the promotion of  the process of restoring justice and the society in it’s turn should take responsibility regarding the process, which is on the one hand, in correspondence with  public interests  and on the other hand , should not undermine state interests as well. Regarding the issue, the announcement was made during the briefing at the  “kvira”  press-club on March 5,  2015,  by the chief axecutive of the organization  “Young Barristers”.

According to the statement of Archil Kaikatsishvili,  it is important ,  that public sector has been acted carefully while creating  expactations of the society,  in order not to undermine the support of the process of restoring justice, and the government had possibility for  implementation of the proper  strategy  towards the victims of torture and those, whose property had been confiscated . Archil Kaikatsishvili has also stated , that  the views of   represantatives of certain non-governmental organizations, as if there are some doubts regarding  the trancparency of the Department to Investigate Offences Committed  in the Course of Legal Proceedings, due to the fact , that the princples for the future activities  remains  unknown ,  is can not be the objective appraisal of the issue. “ Non-governmental sector cannot  dictate prosecuting  bodies of the state the forms and means, by which the grave, system crimes should be investigated.  This is  the prerogative of  relevant state agencies. The obligation of civil sector is limited by monitoring of the process and giving recommendations regarding certain issues. In this record, our effords are essentional. The announcement of the leaders of some non-governmental organizations, makes me feel, that, according to their assessment , the Office of Procecutor and the Government should  pre agree the  future action strategy of the Department  with them. We probebly have to find some kind of space for cooperation, but not at the expence of intervention in each others activities. We are looking forward to know what kind of responsibility  the Department is going to establish and how  the inavitable process of restoring justice in Georgia goes on “  – stated Archil Kaikatsishvili.

The chief-executive of the organization “Young Barristers”  has answered to the quastions of Media,  regarding the fact of  the Chairman of Constitutional Court of Georgia, Giorgi Papuashvili’s living in the confiscated property ( the house) of  high ranking political official of Adjara, Roland Bladadze. Archil Kaikatsishvili appeals to the Minister of Economy and Sustainable Development of Georgia,  Giorgi Kvirikashvili, the Minister of Justice of Georgia, Tea Tsulukiani, and the Chief Prosecutor of Georgia , Giorgi Badashvili, with the request, that the case of Roland Bladadze, in whose house, according to the decree of president of Georgia  2007, the Chairman of the Constitutional Court of Georgia, Giorgi Papuashvili, has been living, was regarded as preferential  during the  process of discussions of cases regarding confiscation of the property by the Government. According to his statement,  relevant ministries of the Government of Georgia and the Main Prosecutor’s Office  of Georgia,  should take bold steps in order to submit fair decisions regarding  such cases and  return  the property to it’s  legal owners

Archil Kaikatsishvili  demands from the Ministry of Economy and Sustainable  Development of Georgia, the Ministry of Justice of Georgia and the Office of Prosecutor of Georgia, submition of  effective  measures  and restitution of  the property to  Roland Bladadze, as soon as possible. Archil Kaikatsishvili appeals  to  Giorgi Kvirikashvili, to offer the Chairman of the Constitutional Court of Georgia , Giorgi papuashvili , alternative living  space , perform  the role of mediator , and return his own prorerty to Roland Bladadze .   Practical  experience  of such mediations, have been introduced in the Ministry of  Economy and Sustainable Development of Georgia  since October 1, 2012 .  

The  “Young Barristers”  appeals to the Minister of Justice of Georgia, Tea Tsulukiani, as well,  and asks for assistence  and share of  the responsibilities  by the Ministry,  regarding such high profile cases.   According to the announcement of Archil Kaikatsishvili , after the exhaustion of all instances of  courts at the national level, the case may be submitted to the European Court of Human Rights, where, the Ministry of Justice, perpersents the party of the case on behalf of Georgia. One more complaint against the state of Georgia and the possibility of winning this case, may result in imposing even more financial responsibilities  on the State of Georgia, that doesn’t  correspond  neither   the interests of the plaintiff  , nor   the possition of the defenders of Roland Bladadze’s legal interests.  Therefore, the “Young Barristers”  appeals to the Ministry of Economy and Sustainable Development of Georgia and the Ministry of Justice of Georgia, to make joint  efforts and  start impementation  of the reconciliation  process, in order to  provide alternative living space for Giorgi Papuashvili, eradicate   legal mistakes made by the former government, and restitute   the property, legally owned by Roland Bladadze.
