Parliamentary Assembly of the Collective Security Treaty OrganizationInternational

The Parliamentary Assembly of the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO PA) is the inter-parliamentary body of the Collective Security Treaty Organization, consisting of parliamentary delegations from member states including Belarus. It is tasked with harmonizing and standardizing national legislation in the areas of security, defense, and counter-terrorism among member nations. Established in November 2006 by decision of the CSTO Collective Security Council, it superseded the earlier Interparliamentary Assembly of the Eurasian Economic Community's role in CSTO legislative coordination.
