(ILO), labour migrants channel an annual average of 2000 USD in the form of

USD per month. This figure almost coincides with the average remittance sent to
Georgia 162.4 USD – Head of the mission of International Organization for Migration

In accordance with the information provided by the State Department of Statistics,
194 600 citizens of Georgia left the country in 1990-1998. But according to
independent experts this figure is very law. Following to their calculation 1 638
000 citizens of Georgia left the country during this period. 56 Taking into account
that in the beginning of 1990 the total amount of population was over 5 421 700
(information provided by independent experts) and 5 456 100, this number is
very high.

which before expressing its opinion (which is not legally binding) can listen the
testimonies of experts selected by the parties. Proceeding, where the Committee
on Human Rights and the Committee on Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination
(which can receive individual complaints) are participating, have the form
of court. Putting forward of some aspects of human rights is a merit of international
