	ANZUS - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Australia, New Zealand, United States Security Treaty (ANZUS or ANZUS Treaty) is the military alliance which binds Australia and the United States, and separately Australia and New Zealand to cooperate on defence matters in the Pacific Ocean area, though today the treaty is understood to relate to attacks in any area.
		It is interesting to note the treaty itself was not a source of debate for 30 years, though in this period New Zealand and Australia commited forces to the Malayan Emergency and subsequently the ANZUS nations fought together in the Vietnam War.
		Whilst Australia has fought alongside the United States before the treaty signing including in the Korean War, the Vietnam War, the Gulf War and elsewhere the ANZUS treaty's provisions for assistance when a member nation comes under threat were officially invoked for the first time by Australia after the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks.

		The name Anzus is derived from the initials of the three signatory nations.
		As a result of the reestablishment of peace between Japan and the United States in 1951, Australia and New Zealand asked for a treaty making it clear that an attack on any of the three signatory countries would be considered an attack upon all.

		ANZUS is so much a part of our strategic heritage that it is easy to think of it as part of the natural landscape.
		And on current evidence the regional aspects of ANZUS are the ones which will dominate both debate on the treaty and the conduct of policy over the coming years.
		The ANZUS Treaty was signed in what the press of the day described as a 'simple and dignified ceremony' in the recreation hall of the Enlisted Men's Club at an army camp, overlooking the Golden Gate bridge.

		The Australia, New Zealand, United States Security Treaty (ANZUS or ANZUS Treaty) is the military alliance which bound Australia, New Zealand and the United States to co-operate on defense matters in the Pacific Ocean area, though today the treaty is understood to relate to attacks in any area.
		Post-war, the United States was eager to normalize relations with Japan, particularly as the Korean War was still raging a short distance from Japan and the Cold War was threatening to become a full scale war.
		The resulting treaty was concluded at San Francisco on September 1, 1951, and entered into force on April 29, 1952.

		He attended the 1983 ANZUS Council in Washington with the objective of getting 'a clearer focus to ANZUS, where it's invoked, the range and cover in general terms.'34 Earlier Australian governments had regarded the vagueness of the treaty's terms as a virtue-compensating for the lack of a formal guarantee by, theoretically, implying one.
		ANZUS with full nuclear involvement had the support of 23 per cent of the population, and just 13 per cent preferred to sever the alliance in favour of 'friendly relations' with the treaty partners.
		ANZUS meant different things to each of those who examined it in the public debate, and for each of them, the things it meant were central in positive or negative ways to their vision of Australia.

		Within the South Pacific and Southeast Asian region, the ANZUS alliance has served well to maintain stability, to deter conflicts among regional states that could evolve into major wars, and to fill what otherwise might be a tempting security vacuum.
		The ANZUS alliance also serves as an umbrella under which bilateral cooperation has been pursued between the member states, including our important work with australia on the joint facilities critical to deterrence and arms control interests.
		The ANZUS treaty covers not only the territory of the member states but also their armed forces in the Pacific.

	Explaining the Bush Administration’s Stumble in Australia
		Conceived in close connection with the conclusion of a "soft" Japanese peace treaty, and contrary to historical charges of subservience on the side of the junior partners, the ANZUS Treaty was negotiated only after much tough bargaining.
		The main source of contention was, paradoxically, the bipartisan determination of Australian leaders on both sides of politics to establish a binding security relationship between their country and the United States and the bipartisan resolve of American policymakers not to embark upon anything of the kind.
		It has also been argued that ANZUS might one day simply be rendered irrelevant as it was unlikely the U.S. would ever again be engaged in a war in Southeast Asia in which case it necessarily follows that Washington would have little need of Australia.

	Lateline - 4/7/2001: Fraser discusses ANZUS treaty . Australian Broadcasting Corp
		Now, it would be ironic indeed if a treaty designed to secure the security of Australia were used to drag us into a conflict which would be extraordinarily damaging and dangerous for Australia's future.
		Even at the height of the Cold War what there is in the ANZUS treaty is that the best that could be achieved -- I do not believe now that it could be strengthened.
		America, quite badly, wanted the peace treaty with Japan signed, and it was the Menzies government that said, "No, we're not going to sign it until we have the ANZUS treaty as a very minimum."

		This seemed bizarre to me, for not only did the Treaty say nothing about nuclear weapons, port visits, information, etc, but the escape clause in the Treaty did not support selective suspension -- all that any signatory could do was cancel their own membership one year after so notifying the Government of Australia.
		The US `suspension of' NZ from Anzus was something it could get away with only because of its preponderance of politico-military power -- it had no `right' to do it, it just could do it and did it.
		Bolger's call for a renewed Anzus seems to me to be an anachronism, since the fall of the Soviet Union means that Pacific disputes now reflect local rather than global politics.

	ANZUS loyalties fall under China's shadow - World - www.smh.com.au
		Asked whether a strategic partnership with Beijing was precluded by Australia's possible obligations under the treaty to help the US defend Taiwan, Alexander Downer said the treaty was "symbolic" of the US alliance and indicated that a Chinese attack on Taiwan would not automatically trigger the treaty mechanisms.
		"The ANZUS Treaty is invoked in the event of one of our two countries, Australia or the United States, being attacked, so some other military activity elsewhere in the world, be it in Iraq or anywhere else for that matter, doesn't automatically invoke the ANZUS Treaty," he said.
		Articles IV and V of the treaty specifically say that an armed attack on either of the treaty partners in the Pacific would see them "act to meet the common danger".

		He declared the "fact that it's a three-country treaty that's still in effect after 50 years speaks highly of the close ties that the United States has to Australia".
		A new treaty could institutionalise the relationship between Australia and the US, making it less susceptible to the kind of political prevarication that Howard says is the risk of electing a Labor government.

		The Government has invoked Article Four of the ANZUS Treaty for this purpose without spelling out the actual terms of the ANZUS Treaty.
		Article four of the ANZUS Treaty says the following: "Each Party recognises that an armed attack in the Pacific Area on any of the Parties would be dangerous to its own peace and safety and declares that it would act to meet the common danger in accordance with its constitutional processes.
		Furthermore, it is stretching the imagination to assert that the terrorist attack on the World Trade Centre and the Pentagon took place in the "Pacific Area" or even that it was an "armed attack" in the conventional sense of the word.

		An outbreak of hostilities would be a severe blow to stability in East Asia, possibly prompting a response from the United States — which has some 50,000 troops in Japan and 35,000 in South Korea — to defend Taiwan.
		Such a conflict could pin top U.S. allies in the area such as Japan and Australia between treaty obligations to Washington and reluctance to alienate China, which is assuming a growing political and economic role in the region.
		In Australia, Foreign Minister Alexander Downer said his government would consult with the United States, as required by the 54-year-old ANZUS treaty, if a Chinese attack on Taiwan triggered an American military response.

		Some of the criticism of New Zealand was based on a rather mischievous piece of reporting in one of our daily newspapers, which claimed that the PM said that ANZUS was no longer operational, therefore New Zealand was not prepared to help out the United States.
		What the NZ PM actually said was that ANZUS is not the excuse she uses in supporting the US-lead campaign against terror, since its a rather irrelevant document.
		With respect to the ANZUS treaty, this is not an anti-terrorist pact.

		Anzus, from which New Zealand has never formally withdrawn despite friction over the Government's nuclear-free stance, includes a provision under which Australia, New Zealand, and the US regard an attack on one partner as an attack on all.
		For the past 15 years it (Anzus) has ceased to exist as far as New Zealand is concerned," she said.
