It brings together legislators from NATO member countries to consider security-related issues of common interest and concern.
 
Since the 1980s, it has assumed additional roles by integrating into its work parliamentarians from NATO partner countries in Europe and beyond. Since 1989, the Assembly has also had, among its objectives, to assist in the development of parliamentary democracy throughout the Euro-Atlantic area by integrating parliamentarians from non-member countries into the Assembly’s work; to assist directly those parliaments of countries actively seeking Alliance membership and to increase cooperation with countries which seek closer relations with NATO rather than membership, including those of the Caucasus and the Mediterranean regions.
