Georgian minister of foreign affairs Maka Botchorishvili is on an official visit to Geneva, where she addressed participants within the framework of the 61st session of the United Nations Human Rights Council.

In her remarks, the minister reviewed the growing challenges of modern life and emphasised the increasing risk that human rights could be used as a tool for political pressure by certain groups and international organisations.
