The Charter's Council is set up to consider complaints submitted against journalists, and decide whether or not any ethical principle has been violated in the issue in question.
The Georgian Charter of Journalistic Ethics suspended the membership of the Alliance of Independent Press Councils of Europe (AIPCE) in 2022.
This request of Ukraine was supported by several members of the Alliance, including the Charter of Journalistic Ethics of Georgia, which considered that in light of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, extreme restrictions on media freedom, and large-scale propaganda, the Russian Press Council could not fulfill its duty and, therefore, could not be a member of the Alliance of Independent Press.
The Charter, an organization with a dynamic history of leadership transitions, saw the tenure of Nata Dzvelishvili as its executive director, who was succeeded by Giorgi Mgeladze.
Following this, during the 15th general meeting held in December 2023, with active participation and voting from the Charter members, Nana Biganishvili was elected as the Chairman of the Board.
The group of monitors observes media outlets on a daily basis and prepares articles, short news and op-ed columns concerning the identified violations and deficiencies.
The students selected are engaged in various activities during a period of 6 months- writing blogposts, news, preparing video-materials on the current events, and covering rallies.
The project as well implies holding of public lectures and discussions with civil society over topics concerned with liberal and democratic values.
