ASEAN Inter Parliamentary Assembly: Development Trends and Significance for Russia

Year: 2020

Type: article

Abstract: The article analyzes the activities of the ASEAN Inter-Parliamentary Assembly (AIPA), evaluates its significance for regional integration, and identifies opportunities for parliamentary diplomacy of Russia. AIPA is not the ASEAN parliament with no legislative rights. For Russia, regular participation in the AIPA General Assembly as an observer aims to increase its presence and the country's political influence in Southeast Asia. However, the lack of international legal personality of the organization and the non-binding nature of its decisions reduce the effectiveness of the AIPA's work and diminishes its importance as a platform for the implementation of Russian parliamentary diplomacy.
