History[edit]
An agreement on creating the commonwealth was reached by the four separatist states
of Abkhazia, South Ossetia, Transnistria and Artsakh in 2001 at the foreign
ministers meeting held in Stepanakert,[2] the capital of Artsakh. The Community for
Democracy and Human Rights was established on 14 June 2006 in Sukhumi, Abkhazia, by
the presidents of three of these states Sergei Bagapsh representing Abkhazia,
Eduard Kokoity representing South Ossetia and Igor Smirnov representing
Transnistria. Artsakh, which had been part of the 2001 agreement, left in 2004 but
became a member in 2007. All four member states have limited international
recognition Abkhazia and South Ossetia are claimed by Georgia, Transnistria by
Moldova and Artsakh by Azerbaijan.

On 17 June 2007, the four-state Community for Democracy and Peoples' Rights signed
in Tiraspolthe capital of Transnistriathe joint Declaration on principles of
peaceful and fair settlement of the GeorgianAbkhazian, GeorgianOssetian,
AzeriKarabakh and MoldovanTransnistrian conflicts. It calls for barring all types
of pressure, such as military deployments, diplomatic isolation, economic
blockades, or information wars, during negotiations toward resolution of conflicts.
It also calls for external guarantees to eventual political settlements of these
conflicts.

On 27 September 2009 the members of the Community for Democracy and Peoples' Rights
agreed to abolish the visa regimes for their citizens. The agreement came into
effect one month after its ratification by all three parliaments. It lasted for
five years, after which it was automatically extended for another five-year term.
[3] This agreement excludes Artsakh, who reserved the right to join this agreement
at a later date.

As of 2017, the four member states have a combined population of 947,480 people.
Abkhazia and South Ossetia have secured recognition from United Nations member
states such as Venezuela, Nicaragua, Nauru, and Russia, as well as the Sahrawi Arab
Democratic Republic. Meanwhile, political leaders of Abkhazia, South Ossetia, and
Transnistria have all promised to integrate their economies and perhaps seek
membership in the Russian-led Eurasian Union.[4]
