The most significant difference between the "Judge International
Third Conference" organized in Georgia this year and those organized
previously was that the event was no longer presided by Georgian
Supreme Court President Lado Chanturia. At present he is replaced by
Konstantin Kublashvili. Mr. Chanturia is one of the few representatives
of the Georgian Court system who has a very good reputation not only
in his fatherland but also outside it.
During the rose revolution Mr. Chanturia considered the results of the
Presidential elections in Georgia invalid, but this did not mean that
he would continue to have high posts under Mikhail Sahakashvili. During
the 8th month of Sahakashvili's presidency Lado Chanturia resigned
from his post.
In some circles of Georgia this is accounted for by the fact that in
fact the most serious rival of Sahakashvili was Chanturia. Some people
claim that Eduard Shevardnadze saw Chanturia as his successor. By the
way, Lado Chanturia is Shevardnadze's distant relative and is in good
terms both with Shevardnadze and the present Georgian authorities.
After several failures of President Sahakashvili Lado Chanturia's
reputation has grown still more and his leaving Georgia was exactly
in time. After resigning from the post of the Georgian Supreme Court
President Lado Chanturia was invited to work in the Bremen University,
and he accepted the invitation.
In Georgia many people are convinced that as a result of Sahakashvili's
policy Lado Chanturia's reputation will grow more quickly and he will
remain a real candidate of the next President of Georgia.
