Tea Jaliashvili (born April 1976) is a Georgian policy-maker and international civil servant. She is the First Deputy Director of the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe’s Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights (ODIHR).[1] [2][3]

Career

Jaliashvili serves as First Deputy Director of ODIHR. Her work has focused on human rights, democratic governance and the rule of law in international, governmental and non-governmental settings.[4][5]

From 2020 to 2023, she worked at the OSCE Programme Office in Dushanbe, Tajikistan[6], first as Deputy Head and later as Acting Head, with oversight of programmes on border management, trafficking in human beings, counter-terrorism, good governance, gender equality and human rights.[7]

In September 2024, during a leadership transition at ODIHR, the OSCE Chairperson-in-Office, Malta’s Foreign Minister Ian Borg, asked her to ensure the uninterrupted functioning of the Office in her capacity as First Deputy Director.[8]

Earlier in her career, she was Deputy Director of the Women’s Information Center in Georgia, working on civil society development, women’s rights and gender equality.[9][10]

Recognition

In 2024 and 2o25, the Peace Research Institute Oslo (PRIO) included ODIHR on its independent, unofficial shortlist of potential Nobel Peace Prize candidates; the list is not affiliated with the Nobel Committee.[11] [12][13]
