ABSTRACT

In the current process of EU integration, it has been not only desirable and appropriate but also necessary to regard the conceptual basics of the principles of democracy and to approximate them with international standards. This, in turn, entails the liberalisation of criminal legislation. Since 2004, the influence of authoritarianism and radicalism on the criminal legislation of Georgia had been evident, but it has changed since 2013 when the process of liberalisation of criminal policy was initiated. Although it has been nine years since the initiation of the process, there is still a lot more to be done for the improvement of criminal legislation, all the more so because the weakening of the liberalisation policy can be observed since 2015 due to the increase of certain serious criminality.

Keywords: Liberalisation, Resocialisation, Legimetry
