The Criminal Elements of Racial Discrimination
The Criminal Code of Georgia establishes racial discrimination as a separate norm and describes it in two directions: an act committed with the aim of inciting national or racial enmity or division, or humiliating national honour and dignity, and also the direct or indirect restriction of a person's rights on the ground of race, skin colour, national or ethnic origin, or the granting of an advantage to a person on the same ground, which substantially violated that person's right. The state thereby protects not only individual dignity but also equality in society along ethnic and racial lines.
