Comment on “Conflict Intensifies Over ‘Russian Law’: Former Soviet Republic Georgia Sees Daily Protests” [in Japanese]
On May 2, 2024, a comment of Professor Maiko Ichihara of the Graduate School of Law on the Asahi Shimbun article, “Conflict Intensifies Over ‘Russian Law’: Former Soviet Republic Georgia Sees Daily Protests” was published. This article discusses the escalating conflict in Georgia, a former Soviet republic, over a bill regulating organizations receiving foreign funding. Professor Ichihara pointed out that the ruling party, Georgian Dream, is increasingly aligning itself with pro-Russian and pro-Chinese tendencies. She further commented that, given the escalating threats against opposition parties within Georgia in recent years, the passage of this bill could worsen the situation and have significant implications for the liberal international order.
