Council of Europe Office in Georgia

In the Office we are a team of 52 people, working on a variety of cooperation projects that support Georgia in upholding and promoting the Council of Europe standards of democracy, human rights and rule of law.

The Council of Europe is the continent’s leading human rights organisation, with 46 member states, including all 27 EU countries. All our member states are party to the European Convention on Human Rights, which is the cornerstone of human rights protection in Europe.

Georgia became the 41^st member state of the Council of Europe in 1999, an historic step best remembered when the Prime Minister at the time, Mr Zurab Zhvania, at the Parliamentary Assembly, declared on behalf of the Georgian people: “I am Georgian and therefore I am European”.
