		SEATO was designed to be a Southeast Asian version of NATO, in which the military forces of each member would be coordinated to provide for the collective defence of the members.
		Despite being intended to provide a collective, anti-communist shield to Southeast Asia, SEATO was unable to intervene in the conflicts in Cambodia, Laos, and Vietnam because an intervention required a decision of unanimity, which was never reached; France and the Philippines objected.
		SEATO was created as part of the Truman Doctrine of creating anti-communist bilateral and collective defence treaties.

	FO FILES FOR THE USA: SERIES TWO: VIETNAM, Part 4, SEATO, 1959-1963
		SEATO was created as a defensive alliance to oppose further communist gains in South East Asia.
		The Chinese and North Vietnamese were particularly opposed to SEATO, believing, not entirely without justification, that it was little more than an American instrument to thwart the neutrality imposed by the Geneva Accords and to legitimise the establishment of an independent, pro-western, southern Vietnamese republic.
		With the change of Foreign Minister in the Philippines SEATO was spared the harmful comments of Mr Sarrano: but balancing this Pakistan became troublesome and obstructive.

		Since SEATO was created to act in circumstances such as that now existing in Laos and has not acted, it casts doubt not only on its own integrity but on the reliability of the United States as its originator.
		SEATO becomes a means whereby restraint is imposed on us by our allies against action which we might be willing and able to take unilaterally and which might be generally acceptable.
		If SEATO is not to play an important role in the future, it should be progressively de-emphasized and United States unilateral action substituted for it, i.e., by a bilateral treaty with Thailand and whatever U.S. military dispositions are called for by the circumstances.

		In Thailand, where the administrative bodies of SEATO were established, small communist groups existed in some urban areas, in the remote north and in the far south which was also a safe rear area for the Malayan Communist Party (MCP).
		SEATO as a whole was, until around 1960, central to US plans to counter what they saw as the deterioration of pro-Western governments in South East Asia, especially Laos.

	Southeast Asia Treaty Organization - MSN Encarta
		The founding members of SEATO were Australia, France, the United Kingdom, New Zealand, Pakistan, the Philippines, Thailand, and the United States.
		Like the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), the Southeast Asian alliance was intended to prevent the spread of communism; but unlike the NATO pact, the SEATO agreement did not obligate one member to assist another against a military threat.
		Although SEATO sanctioned the U.S. military effort in Vietnam, and although several SEATO members sent troops to fight there, SEATO itself played no direct role in the war.

		By this time the S.E.A.T.O. member nations had decided that, if their collective efforts in pursuance of the Manila Treaty (S.E.A.T.O.) were to progress, they needed a HQ suitably located in the Treaty area.
		Paralleling the political/civil side of the S.E.A.T.O. organisation was the military side headed by the Military Advisers Group who reported collectively to their governments through the Council or separately through their Council member.
		As Chief S.E.A.T.O. planner, I was forbidden to visit these countries -- for political reasons, it was considered such a visit would be misconstrued and used wrongly by both friends and enemies.

		The inability of SEATO to respond effectively to the challenges in Laos and South Vietnam weakened the organization and allowed friction among its membership.
		SEATO's internal contradictions and its inability to respond to threats in Laos and Vietnam led to a reappraisal of the organization.
		Instead, modifications in the operation of SEATO were considered at the urging of Thailand, the sole SEATO member from the Southeast Asian mainland and the nation most threatened by the crisis in Laos.

	INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS - Seato - 1966 Encyclopaedia of New Zealand
		Not long after SEATO was set up it became clear that the Communist threat had altered from the possibility of armed attack to the actuality of infiltration, subversion, and attempts at economic domination.
		Accordingly, at SEATO Councils increasing stress has been placed upon the need to develop economic resources within the Treaty area to raise living standards as the surest guarantee against subversion, while maintaining defensive preparedness.
		Generally speaking, New Zealand has been anxious to use SEATO for purposes other than those which predominated in its creation, chiefly as an additional channel for economic and technical assistance.

		After floating this idea among the SEATO ministers and being encouraged, he developed a prototype for such a school to be established on the campus of Chulalongkorn University in Bangkok where SEATO was headquartered.
		The SEATO ministers concurred, and in April 1965 they adopted a formal resolution calling for the creation of a commission to prepare a charter for the school as an independent entity.
		In 1969 Bender described the SEATO Graduate School of Engineering as "a school that will concentrate on engineering applicable to the problems, conditions and limitations of the region." In 1989 AIT faces regional problems that are more diverse than ever and whose solutions are, of necessity, increasingly high-tech.

		Although the conference has accomplished much at a very critical period in re-establishing unity in SEATO and has given a renewed sense of individual and collective responsibility, it, of course, is only a beginning in the longer and much more difficult processes of keeping SEATO alive, unified and alert to its continued responsibilities.
		We would inform our SEATO allies that we were planning in concert with the Thai, whose security is immediately threatened, certain emergency measures which would support the RLG against bloc pressure and incidentally put some pressure on the Russians to respond on the cease-fire question.
		Under these conditions SEATO elements, in part or in whole, must be ready to act, and immediate precautionary measures must be taken to supply air defense of friendly forces in the area.
