Origin
2026 - Third part-session
In the draft resolution, after paragraph 8, insert the following paragraph:

"The Assembly is particularly alarmed by information indicating that Georgian territory is being utilised as a transit hub for the circumvention of international sanctions imposed on the Russian Federation. The surge in the re-export of dual-use goods, microchips, and sanctioned vehicles to Russia via third countries represents a direct subversion of international efforts to curtail the Russian military apparatus. The Assembly calls upon the Georgian authorities to fully align with imposed restrictive measures, cease facilitating destination washing, and implement stringent, verifiable customs controls to ensure compliance."

Explanatory note

There is a surge in the re-export of dual-use goods, microchips, and sanctioned vehicles to Russia via third countries, including Georgia. Georgia has also not aligned with the vast majority of EU sanctions against Russia, Belarus, and Iran.
