On the issue of granting Georgian citizenship according to the Organic Law of Georgia on Georgian Citizenship, a distinction has to be made between a foreigner who is granted Georgian citizenship through naturalization on the one hand, and a former Georgian citizen who has been deprived of his/her citizenship and who is hence deprived of his/her right to be elected, on the other. The procedure to obtain Georgian citizenship goes through the Public Service Development Agency under the Ministry for Justice of Georgia with the assistance of the Citizenship Commission. Both bodies are composed of public servants and have an important role, though not a decisive role, as “the final decision on granting, retaining, refusing to grant or terminating Georgian citizenship shall be made by the President of Georgia”, without judicial review in fine, except for the decision on termination of Georgian citizenship. One can therefore question the objectivity of the process, which allows for potential political considerations to weigh in on the decision of granting Georgian citizenship, without providing additional safeguards, e.g. the right to appeal.
