About Collective Security Treaty Organization
Statement 1st is correct: It is an intergovernmental military alliance that came into effect in 2002.

Its’ origin can be traced to the Collective Security Treaty, 1992 (Tashkent Treaty).
The headquarter is located in the Russian capital of Moscow.

What the membership entails?

CSTO membership means that member states are barred from joining other military alliances, limiting, for example, their relationship with NATO.
Most importantly, membership presumes certain key security assurances – the most significant of which is deterring military aggression by third countries.
In the CSTO, aggression against one signatory is perceived as aggression against all.
It however remains unclear whether this feature works in practice.
