Human rights in Abkhazia are granted by Chapter II of its Constitution which makes reference to adherence of Abkhazia to UDHR, ICCPR and ICESCR (Article 11).〔(Constitution of Abkhazia )〕 However, Abkhazia is not a UN member state and is not a party of UN human rights treaties, unlike Georgia, whose sovereignty over Abkhazia is recognized by a bigger part of the international community. The same Constitution allows only to persons of Abkhaz ethnicity to be President of Abkhazia (Article 49; in the aforementioned translation words ''Abkhazian nationality'' are used, however, for citizens, another term is used — ''citizen of the Republic of Abkhazia'', like in Article 38. Besides, in the Constitution's text in co-official Russian language word ''национальность'' clearly indicating ethnicity is used〔(Constitution of Abkhazia )〕). In the 1990s, ethnic cleansing of Georgians took place in Abkhazia; many ethnic Georgians remain displaced persons to this day. Freedom House classified Abkhazia as ''partly free'' naming corruption, problems in the legal system and the unresolved Georgian refugee problem as the main human rights issues.〔Freedom House (report ) on Abkhazia, 2009〕 ==Domestic and international institutions== A post of Human Rights Commissioner (as of 2008 — Gueorgui Otyrba) exists under the President of Abkhazia.〔(President ratified legal base of activity of Human rights commissioner )〕 The UN Human Rights Office Abkhazia, Georgia (HROAG), was established in 1996 to protect and promote human rights there.〔(The Georgian-Abkhaz conflict )//OSCE Mission to Georgia〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Human rights in Abkhazia」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
