Legislative amendments for regulating the selection criteria and procedures for Supreme Court Justice election will only ensure objective formation of the highest instance of the judiciary, if each judge-member of the High Council of Justice (hereinafter “HCoJ”) as well as each non-judge member of the HCoJ elected by the Parliament of Georgia, who voted in favor of submitting the list of the candidates of Supreme Court Justices to the Parliament of Georgia in December 2018, will resign from office. Supreme Court Justices should only be nominated and elected after renewal of the composition of the HCoJ and enacting relevant legislative amendments.
