The opposition shares the pathos of third sector statement and says that Kiladze has no relevance to human rights. The majority members support Sophio Kiladze's candidacy. Khatia Decanoidze, a member of the political council of the United National Movement, also shares the arguments of the non-governmental organizations.
There is violation in two directions, and I share the argument brought in the statement of the organization. Firstly, it is transparency and secondly, the standard that she has as a member of parliament, the chairperson of the Human Rights Committee, with her homophobic, hate speech, she does not really deserve to be nominated to a very important organization from Georgia, - said Dekanoidze.
Otar Kakhidze, a member of the Political Council of European Georgia, considers Sofio Kiladze's chairmanship of the Human Rights Committee a disgrace for Georgian parliamentarism.
Whenever there had been a conflict between human rights and the interests of the State Security Service and the prosecutor's office , Ms. Kiladze had always supported the law enforcement agencies and not the human rights. She is also not committed to minority rights,- said Otar Kakhidze.
Eka Beselia, an independent Georgian lawmaker, says the Human Rights Committee, chaired by Sopho Kiladze, has become a punitive committee.
Government officials support Sopho Kiladze's candidacy. Recall that at the end of June, the UN Committee on the Children's Rights should elect nine new members.
Georgia has nominated Sofia Kiladze, a chairwoman of the parliamentary committee on Human Rights and Civil Integration, as a candidate for the committee's membership. The 52 signatories of the statement appealed to the UN Committee on the Children's Rights to take into account the critical assessments and not to allow the election of Sopho Kiladze. Sopho Kiladze has not yet responded to the statement of the non-governmental organizations.
