The World Art Committee and the World Assembly of Social Recognition have decorated the President of the Republic of South Ossetia Eduard Kokoity with the gold order and have awarded him honorary title of «the Holder of the international order «Knight of honour."

On June, 29, 2011 the resolution on refugees and internally displaced persons from Abkhazia and South Ossetia which project was prepared by Georgia has been adopted at the 65 session of the United Nations General Assembly. The problem discussion passed without participation of the interested sides of the Republic of South Ossetia and Abkhazia and this circumstance testifies that this document, as well as the previous ones adopted at the 63 and 64 sessions of the United Nations General Assembly is presented in a deformed light. South-Ossetian and Abkhazian delegations at the International Geneva discussions in the joint statement from June, 7, 2011 have already emphasized that Georgia under the pretext of reference to a humanitarian range of problems - as it is the refugee and the internally displaced persons problems- is imposing to the world community the false vision of the problem, pursuing its basic target - to support its claims to the territory of the Republic of South Ossetia and Abkhazia.
