The delegation of the Republic of South Ossetia was headed by the Plenipotentiary of the President of the RSO Boris Chochiev. The work was being carried out by two groups.

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».
