Vyacheslav Victorovich Chairman of the State Duma of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation (Elected in a single mandate electoral district № 164 – Saratov district, Saratov Oblast) asked the Parliamentary Assembly of the Collective Security Treaty Organization to prepare an appeal to the parliaments of the countries of the world and international organizations in connection with the 80^th anniversary of the International Military Tribunal in Nuremberg.

The Deputy Chairwoman of the State Duma Victoria Abramchenko Abramchenko
Victoria Valerievna recalled at the plenary meeting that this October marks the 80^th anniversary of the Nuremberg Trials. “This event altered the course of the trial. For the first time in the history of humanity, war was recognized as a criminal offence. And the position ‘I was only following orders’ stopped being an excuse,” she said.

“Vyacheslav Victorovich, at your initiative, the CSTO PA Secretariat has prepared a text of the appeal to the parliaments of the world and international organizations. The text of the document was approved by all CSTO PA member states, it has been published and will be sent to the international organizations,” said the Deputy Chairwoman of the State Duma.

In the 9^th convocation, Victoria Abramchenko is responsible for cooperation of the State Duma with the CSTO PA.
