The MEGOBARI Act aims to bolster democracy and the rule of law in Georgia, supporting the country's aspirations to join the European Union and NATO while addressing concerns about democratic backsliding and authoritarianism. The legislation articulates a strong U.S. policy in favor of Georgia's democratic development and emphasizes the importance of free elections, the rule of law, and civil society protection. It includes provisions for the U.S. Secretary of State to suspend certain diplomatic engagements with Georgia until the government shows a commitment to democratic principles.
