Contemporary Georgian Literature on the International Law

Abstract

After the collapse of the Soviet Union all newly formed states faced the challenge of the development of international law. Georgia was not an exception and the absence of the basis for the development of international law had an overall negative effect.
But still there are authors who furthered the science of international law in Georgia. One of them is L. Aleksidze, a prominent figure in the sphere of international law who had a great impact on it and nurtured new generations of international law scholars.
One of the fastest developing branches of international law in Georgia is human rights, represented by Korkelia K., Kurdadze I., who wrote several books on this topic. Also branches of international humanitarian and criminal law should be noted as one of the leading spheres of international law in Georgia. As far as criminal law is concerned such topics as extradition, International criminal court are being discussed.
International legal aspects of Georgian foreign policy are also being researched and the scholars point out the necessity of elaboration and adoption of a new program of foreign policy of Georgia.
In Georgia there are also many journals dealing with the topics of international law such as “International Law”, “Law”, “Almanakhi”, etc. The number of publications dealing with international law is constantly increasing.
As the conclusion it is stated that national legislation of Georgia should stand up to the standards of international law, but in order to do this the relevant issues should be researched and implemented.
