On July 2010 the Parliament of Georgia adopted the draft of amendments and addendums to the Law on General Education of Georgia with third hearing, giving bailiffs right to stop and frisk and use force and special device. The Georgian Young Lawyer’s Association gave a negative evaluation to the noted amendments and called on the Parliament to cease review of the draft and continue the process of adoption upon elimination of flaws and immediate threats.

Regrettably, the draft was adopted with third hearing. Due to the utmost importance of the matter, the Georgian Young Lawyers’ Association will submit a proposal for harmonizing the law with constitutional and international standards after the Parliament renews its autumn session.

GYLA prepared its findings and legislative initiative concerning the noted amendments (see the attachment), which provides precise frames of performing stop and frisk, imposes additional restrictions on use of force and special device by bailiffs and most importantly, offers procedural guarantees of protection for excessive use of authirty during stop and frisk or use of force.
