Georgia was chosen, along with thirteen other nations, by the UN General Assembly, on October 11, to serve on the UN Human Rights Council for the years 2023–2025.

The 47 states that comprise the council are chosen from regional groups in accordance with the geographical principle, and its members are in charge of advancing and defending human rights all over the world.

For the term spanning the years 2016–2018, Georgia was initially chosen as a member of the UN’s intergovernmental body in 2015.

Along with Georgia, candidates for the Council were also presented by Algeria, Morocco, South Africa, Sudan, Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bangladesh, Kyrgyzstan, Maldives, South Korea, Vietnam, Romania, Chile, Costa Rica, Venezuela, Belgium, and Germany. Except for Afghanistan and Venezuela, all of the nations that had filed their candidacy were elected.
