Handbook for Monitoring Administrative Justice
Last year, the FBA and the OSCE Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights (ODHIR) jointly developed the Handbook for Monitoring Administrative Justice. The handbook provides guidance for practitioners involved in trial monitoring and is currently being used by Transparency International Georgia in their monitoring of administrative court hearings in six Georgian cities: Tbilisi, Gori, Kutaisi, Zugdidi, Batumi and Khelvachauri.
