Section E23. Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS)

The CIS was formed by former Soviet Union countries following the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991 based on the Alma-Ata Protocol which includes also Economic, Trade, Political, and Military aspects. At the Military Level, the ‘CIS Council of Defence Ministers’ formed a Military Cooperation among CIS members including the establishment of a Headquarter (MCCH) located in Moscow, while in 1995, CIS established a joint ‘CIS Air Defence System’ that includes Units of Air Defence of the CIS Members under the control of the ‘Air Defence Coordination Committee’ of the ‘CIS Council of Defence Ministers’, with the aim of protecting the Air Boundaries of the CIS members including giving Early Warning for Air/Missile Strikes alongside a Coordination Response to the Air/Missile Strikes, which can be considered as de-facto a Military Defence Treaty of CIS because, in the 21 century, Air/Missile Strikes are always part of an attack and war. Besides, CIS has a unique membership status, namely Associate Member which is reserved for any country that did not ratify the CIS Charter, yet the Council of Heads of States of CIS approved the participation of the country in CIS activities (e.g. Turkmenistan), which makes these countries as de-facto Members of CIS without the formality of the ratifying.
