The move has sparked large protests and international condemnation, with critics arguing it jeopardizes Georgia's EU aspirations and aligns the country closer to Russia. The U.S., EU, NATO, and UN have all expressed concerns, and the law's passage may force a reassessment of Georgia's international relationships.
