Alma-Ata Protocol
Template:Infobox Treaty The Alma-Ata Protocols are the founding declarations and principles of the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS).
The leaders of Russia, Ukraine, and Belarus had agreed to the Belavezha Accords on 8 December 1991, dissolving the Soviet Union and forming the CIS. On 21 December 1991, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Moldova, Russia, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Ukraine, and Uzbekistan agreed to the Alma-Ata Protocols, joining the CIS. The latter agreement included the original three Belavezha signatories, as well as eight additional former Soviet republics.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref>
More surprisingly, the protocol allowed the Russian Federation to assume Soviet Union's UN membership, including its permanent seat on the United Nations Security Council.
