The Constitutional Court of Georgia Declares a Constitutional Claim № 1915 Inadmissible (Citizens' Political Union “Unity - National Movement v. Parliament of Georgia).
On March 26, 2026 the Constitutional Court of Georgia declared a Constitutional Claim № 1915 (Citizens' Political Union “Unity - National Movement v. Parliament of Georgia) Inadmissible. The constitutionality of the first paragraph of Article 61 of the Rules of Procedure of the Parliament of Georgia, as well as Resolutions № 240-IIMS-XIMP of February 5, 2025, and № 958-IVMS-XIMP of September 3, 2025, was disputed in relation to the first paragraph of Article 23 of the Constitution of Georgia (the right to establish a political party and to participate in its activities).
The court established, that the appealed Resolutions do not represent normative acts. Accordingly, under sub-paragraph (a) of paragraph 4 of Article 60 of the Constitution, it does not have a jurisdiction to consider their constitutionality with respect to any rights provided for in Chapter II of the Constitution.
The Constitutional Court also noted that the first paragraph of Article 61 of the Rules of Procedure of the Parliament does not establish the grounds for the establishment and activities of political parties; therefore, there is no substantive connection between this disputed provision and the first paragraph of Article 23 of the Constitution.
The Constitutional Court of Georgia, having acted in full compliance with the requirements of the law, found Constitutional Claim № 1915 inadmissible in all its parts.
