Origin

2020 - First part-session

In the draft resolution, paragraph 3.8, replace the words "the continuing borderisation and creeping annexation of the Georgian regions"

with the following words: "the continuing illegal occupation and steps towards de-facto annexation of the Georgian regions".

Explanatory note

The so-called "borderisation" is a result and consequence of the bigger illegal process of Russia's occupation of Georgian regions. Besides, in 2014 Russia launched the incorporation of those regions into Russia's military, political, economic and social system that represents a factual annexaton process. Therefore, the resolution should reflect the entire picture of Russia's aggressive policy.
