We recall, that such documents of a purely recommendatory nature declare support for the territorial integrity of Georgia, express "serious concern" with the human rights situation in Abkhazia and South Ossetia, note the "facts" of discrimination against residents of border regions, condemn the so-called “Borderization process along the line of occupation”, etc.
