Georgia: Right to Return
Steady State comments on the passing by the UN National Assembly of a resolution recognizing the right of Georgian refugees to return to the breakaway region of Abkhazia. However, the blog also says that despite its passage there was little interest shown by UN member states, most of which either abstained or didn’t attend the session.
Here is a list of Georgia’s mighty friends:
Albania, Azerbaijan, Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, Sweden, Ukraine and United States.
here are those who voted against:
Armenia, Belarus, Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, India, Iran, Myanmar, Russia, Serbia, Sudan, Syria and Venezuela.
Others who didn’t care to join the resolution: Germany, France, Great Britain, etc. — basically many of the heavyweights
In a second post, the blog casts doubts on the Georgian president’s ability to fulfill promises that those refugees will actually do so.
