Concerning the submitted by Georgia draught resolution of the 65th session of the United Nations General Assembly on refugees and internally displaced persons from Abkhazia and South Ossetia

The delegation of Georgia has prepared and has officially submitted to the secretariat the draught resolution of the 65th session of the United Nations General Assembly- « Position of internally displaced persons from Abkhazia, Georgia and from Tshkinvalskiy region /South Ossetia/Georgia. The draught resolution text is similar to the previous year document. The matter is about refugees - the ethnic Georgians, who have found themselves dislocated in the result of the Georgian army attack upon South Ossetia in August, 2008. Unfortunately, in this draft resolution only the unilateral approach is represented having nothing in common with an actual state of affairs and with concern about the fate of the refugees. Against the background of the Georgian draught resolution about the position of refugees and internally displaced persons one could see only aspiration of Georgia to support its claim on the sovereignty over the territory of South Ossetia and Abkhazia.
