Description
United Nations being the only global organization acquiring the formal recognitions from the states cannot handle all of the diversified problems of the world. As the world is becoming glocal in terms of organizations, UN needs to direct the particular problems as economic, human rights, security or plague to specifically founded organizations or UN-founded specific departments. In the meantime, some security problems exceed the national boundaries and become international. As it is known with the security issue that the problem can quickly be in the global sphere, there is the need for keeping regional or international problems to be solved under the roof of regional organizations. In the Western world this is achieved by NATO and recently by EU’s ad-hoc activities to act as security organization while in the Eastern world it is shared by different organizations as ASEAN, AU or CSTO. Although economic cooperation predominated in some, as ASEAN, these organizations are also charged with the maintenance of peace and security in their region, regardless amongst the member states or between the member and non-member states. In this regard, this paper studies the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO)’s effectiveness in the Eurasian region security problems. Given one of the main security problem to become more international being the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, where CSTO stands is tried to be analysed as Armenia, one side of the conflict, is a member but the other side, Azerbaijan, is not.
