UNHCR on IDPs Eviction
UN refugee agency (UNHCR) said on February 3, that despite some shortcomings, "there have not been noted major violations of international law or standards" during series of evictions of IDP families from about two dozen of temporary shelters in Tbilisi in January.
UNHCR said that it had marked "improvement of the relocation process as compared to the situation in summer 2010", when eviction of IDPs from several state-owned buildings was criticized by the UN refugee agency. After the criticisms the authorities had to suspend the process and agreed to develop together with UNHCR set of procedures to govern the relocation process, which resumed in January.
