In connection with the draught resolution submitted by Georgia to the General Assembly of the United Nations about the position of temporary displaced persons and refugees from Abkhazia and South Ossetia

At 63 and 64 sessions of the General Assembly of the United Nations (in 2009 and in 2010y.y.) the draught resolution on refugees and internally displaced persons from Abkhazia and South Ossetia submitted by Georgia was being adopted. Thereby behind the reference to the humanitarian problems the Georgian side tries to thrust its extremely distorted vision of the refugee problem on the world community, and thereby supports its claims on the territory of South Ossetia and Abkhazia. In the next draught resolution on refugees and internally displaced persons submitted by Georgia to the GA of the UN, which does not differ from the resolutions of the GA of the UN adopted earlier, it is said about the confirmation of rights of all the internally displaced persons and refugees and also their descendants on returning «in their houses all over the territory of Georgia, including Abkhazia and South Ossetia».

As he said, the meeting was very hard as the Georgian party behaved itself extremely incorrectly. «The Georgian side feels pressure on the part of the international organizations, - the Plenipotentiary has noted. - the international community, unlike the post conflict period (the Georgian aggression in August, 2008 - a comment of the editor) when it had not trustworthy information, has already received it, and now it makes conclusions about Georgia which has been recognized as the country-aggressor in the report of Taliavini».
