The Collective Security Treaty Organization, formed under the
framework of the Commonwealth of Independent States, serves as a
mutual defense alliance among Russia, Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan,
Kyrgyzstan, and Tajikistan. The Collective Security Treaty (CST) was
signed on May 15, 1992 for five-year term, with the possibility of
prolongation. On December 2, 2004 the General Assembly of the United
Nations adopted the Resolution to grant the observer status to the
Collective Security Treaty Organization in the General Assembly of the
United Nations. The goal of the Collective Security Treaty
Organization is to strengthen peace and international and regional
security and stability and to ensure collective protection of
independence, territorial integrity and sovereignty of Member States,
in the attainment of which Member States shall give priority to
political methods. On February 4, 2009, the CSTO leaders approved
formation of Collective Rapid Reaction Force (RRF).
