The '''GUAM Organization for Democracy and Economic Development''' is a regional organization of four [[post-Soviet states]]: [[Georgia (country)|'''G'''eorgia]], [[Ukraine|'''U'''kraine]], [[Azerbaijan|'''A'''zerbaijan]], and [[Moldova|'''M'''oldova]].

Conceived in 1997 to harmonize and integrate commercial, diplomatic and democratic relations among its member states, the GUAM treaty charter was signed in 2001 and today covers a population of over 57 million people. [[Uzbekistan]] was also a member of GUAM in the 1999–2005 period. In 2003, GUUAM became an observer in the [[United Nations General Assembly|UN General Assembly]]. In 2007, GUAM also established a military [[peacekeeping]] force and organized joint military exercises. Such increasingly deepened integration and relationships led to GUAM playing an important role in the region's diplomatic and commercial affairs.
