Abstract. The improvement of the CSTO’s efficiency is achieved through the unification of efforts by member states. This requires the development of a common position on various issues, which can be reflected in model legislation that helps overcome differences in opinions about legal regulation issues, including those related to public security. However, the development of such model acts requires prior coordination of the positions of the CSTO member states. The current paper has presented the analysis of the examples of the use of the concept of “public security” in the CSTO member states to identify similarities and differences in approaches to defining and understanding public security and its codification in legislative acts and strategic planning documents. According to the author these similarities and differences in opinions about public security, as reflected in national legislation, should be taken into account when creating new model legislative acts of the CSTO related to enforcing public security.

The paper was prepared as part of the state assignment “Comprehensive study of public security issues as a strategic priority of national security of the Russian Federation (FFFZ-2025-0001)”.

Keywords: public security; public order; CSTO member states; strategic planning documents.
