Following the constitutional reform of 2017, Article 11(3) of the Constitution of Georgia states, more generally, that “the State shall provide equal rights and opportunities for men and women. The State shall take special measures to ensure the essential equality of men and women and to eliminate inequality.” With a view to the more specific topic of gender equality in Parliament, the Constitutional Court in the above-mentioned judgment of 2020 decided that the (then) newly introduced gender quotas for candidate lists – as far as their applicability to women was concerned and taking into account that they were of temporary nature – were in line with the Constitution. It held that the quotas served the legitimate aim to ensure gender equality and argued that the Constitution foresaw a positive obligation for the State to take special measures to mitigate existing inequalities based on sex. Underscoring the continued under-representation of women in the Parliament of Georgia, the Constitutional Court noted that the disputed regulation was the most effective mechanism to attain the relevant goal, as alternative non-binding incentives proved to be less effective.
