Peacekeeping contingents of CSTO member states are specially trained military, police and civilian personnel, as well as forces and means allocated by the Organization's member states to the CSTO Peacekeeping Forces. For each peacekeeping operation, the composition, structure and strength of the Collective Peacekeeping Forces are determined by a decision of the CSTO Collective Security Council on the basis of the scope of the tasks to be accomplished and the specific situation in the conflict zone.
