The bill regarding ratification of the Agreement (Reg. No. 0011) was considered during the meeting of the Committee. By the majority of votes, the decision was taken to recommend the Verkhovna Rada to ratify the Agreement with consideration of the caution of Ukraine not to apply paragraph first of article 14 of the Agreement (under which, the CIS Defense Ministers Council is to coordinate activity of the authorized Parties to implementation of the Agreement) taken during signing of the Agreement.
The Committee noted that the main aim of the Agreement singed on September 3, 2011 in Dushanbe is establishment of legal basis for development of cooperation between Ukraine and the CIS member states in the spheres of perpetuation of the memory of war victims; cooperation of state institutions and public organizations in searching, accounting, arrangement, preservation and maintenance of the military burial and military monuments; as well as exhumation and reburial of war victims.
