In the draft resolution, paragraph 4.9, replace the words: "South Ossetia and Abkhazia" with the following words: "Abkhazia and Tskhinvali region/South Ossetia".

Explanatory note

The use of correct terminology is decisive to counter Russia's propagandistic narrative in violation of Georgia's sovereignty and territorial integrity. The practise of using abovementioned term is widely established in the international community and is considered to be the standard in the language of reports/resolutions/decisions and any other documents of international organizations.
