Парламент Грузии принял важные законодательные поправки для укрепления избирательного процесса

Парламент Грузии принял ряд важных законодательных изменений о выборах, которые, как ожидается, укрепат избирательный процесс. Первый законопроект, который уже был одобрен в третьем чтении парламента, запрещает открытие специальных избирательных участков на территории министерства обороны, министерства внутренних дел, министерства по исполнению наказаний и пробации, подразделений служб государственной безопасности и разведки, а также специальной службы государственной охраны.

Эти перемены решают одну из главных проблем, которые в прошлом были связаны с избирателным прцессом в стране. На закрытых избирательных участках, особенно в военных учреждениях, часто солдаты голосовали по принуждению со стороны старших офицеров. Звучали обвинения, что голосование не было тайным. Устранение этих избирательных участков, как ожидается, будут приветствоваться международными наблюдателями.

Изменения допускают создание избирательного участка в исключительных случаях (пенитенциарные учреждения, дома призрения, больницы и т.д.).

Парламент также одобрил предложение Комитета по правовым вопросам согласно которому расширяется круг тех субъектов, которым дана возможность пользоваться бесплатным эфирным временем.

Ethiopian dam upsets Egypt, whilst China plays a difficult game

Ethiopia last week opened its mega dam on the River Nile, the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD). The launch has sparked a tense diplomatic battle between Ethiopia and Egypt, with Cairo denouncing it as “an unlawful unilateral act” and protesting to the United Nations Security Council. During an inauguration ceremony on Tuesday (9 September) Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed described the US$5 billion Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam as a “symbol of Ethiopian unity and national achievement". Several regional leaders, including Kenyan President William Ruto and Somalia’s President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud, attended the event. Egypt, whose life has historically centred around the River Nile, believes the dam will threaten its water supply and cause shortages. Following the inauguration, Cairo warned that it reserved the right to take all measures provided for under international law and the UN Charter to “defend the existential interests of its people”. Sudan, has also raised concerns about dam safety and the risk of uncoordinated water releases.
