Declaration of State Sovereignty of Georgia

The 11th convocation of the Supreme Soviet of the Georgian Soviet Socialist Republic adopted a resolution titled "On Guarantees for the Protection of the State Sovereignty of Georgia" during a special session held on 9 March 1990. It declared the 1921 invasion and occupation of Democratic Republic of Georgia by the red army to be illegal. The resolution denounced the annexation and several other treaties including the formation of the Transcaucasian Federation Treaty and deemed the Union Treaty illegal with regard to Georgia. It also reaffirmed Georgia’s rights under the Treaty of Moscow in 1920 and followed amendments passed in November 1989 that granted the republic authority to veto all-Union laws.
