Abstract

The Interparliamentary Assembly (IPA) was established at almost thesame time as the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS). Accordingto the official position, to date the IPA CIS has adopted about 650 modellaws and other documents and has become the main cooperationplatform for parliamentarians in a new political and economicenvironment. More than 70% of all IPA acts are implemented into thelegislation of the CIS countries, and about 10% contain provisions thatoverlap with those in national laws.However, there are also problems. Throughout the history of theAssembly, its chairmen have always been representatives of Russia.Considering the specifics of the political development of the post-Sovietarea, one can note the relative weakness of parliaments, which tend toact only in conjunction with the Presidents. And the CIS itself has for along time been more of a reserve platform for Russia than an influentialintegration organization.
