YEREVAN. Nov 5 (Interfax) - The Collective Security Treaty Organization Parliamentary Assembly (CSTO PA) at its session on Tuesday approved recommendations to introduce clauses tackling the spread of Nazism and its manifestations in the legislation of the organization's member states.
"We should do our utmost to protect the memory of those who made our life possible today. There are some countries, which are members of the Council of Europe and are involved in the PACE's activities, it would be right for us to step up our activity here," CSTO PA Chairman and State Duma Speaker Vyacheslav Volodin said, while discussing recommendations.
It is inadmissible when a number of countries, which are members of the Council of Europe, demolish monuments, tombstones, and desecrate graves, he said. "We see that at the example of Poland and several Baltic states," he said.
At its session on Tuesday, the CSTO Parliamentary Assembly approved several more model recommendations to harmonize the legislation of the organization's member states.
The approaches set out in the documents will specifically allow for bridging gaps in national legislations and resolve issues, which require a universal solution by all of the CSTO states, Volodin said.
At its plenary session, the CSTO Parliamentary Assembly endorsed seven model regulatory acts, including one law, five recommendations, and one recommendatory list.
In particular, the recommendatory list of corpus delicti and administrative offenses in the area of ensuring information security of individuals, society, and the state was backed.
The documents are aimed at harmonizing the legislations of the organization's member states in the areas of fighting corruption and Nazism, countering the spread of Nazism, ensuring internal stability, tackling the technology of an external destructive impact, which seeks the destabilization of the situation in sovereign countries.
They also seek the provision of collective humanitarian assistance as a response to crises evolving in the CSTO member states and the functioning of collective peacekeeping forces.
Their endorsement will make joint efforts to tackle challenges faced by the organization's member states more effective, Volodin said.
The model law on non-state entities of ensuring national security was supported among other documents.
"These acts are aimed at well-coordinated development and integration of basic systems of legislation in the sphere of ensuring national security, the removal of gaps in the domestic legislation and the settlement of issues, which require a universal solution by all of the CSTO states," Volodin said.
Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan also met with Volodin and the heads of other parliamentary delegations as part of the CSTO PA session in Yerevan. The interlocutors discussed bringing the legislation of the CSTO members closer and the development of the organization.
