Article 46¹ and its purpose

Article 46¹ of the Code of Administrative Offences of Georgia establishes administrative liability for breach of the rules, established by Georgian legislation, on the removal and use of a human organ, part of an organ or tissue. The norm governs one of the most sensitive fields of administrative regulation — transplantation and the medical use of human biological material. The removal and use of organs and tissues is a strictly regulated activity in which human dignity, health and safety depend directly on procedural detail; that is why a breach of the rules established in this field is treated as a separate composition and protected by a penalty.
