Talk:Southeast Asia Treaty Organization

message: ATTENTION:
South Korea, South Vietnam, and Bangladesh were NEVER members of SEATO.
South Vietnam was excluded because of the Geneva Accords, although it along with Laos and Cambodia were designated "areas of interest".
South Korea was not IN Southeast Asia nor was it a global power that had interest in that region (DESPITE being an intervening power in the Vietnam War.)  
Bangladesh became independent from Pakistan in 1971.  Although Pakistan was a member, and thus technically the territory of Bangladesh was part of SEATO when it was part of Pakistan ("East Pakistan") Bangladesh *NEVER* joined SEATO.

message: I've started an infobox, hopefully something similar to that on NATO. Any contribution with more (often evasive) info is 0of course welcome! Paj.meister 09:43, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The Falklands was someone's idea of a joke. However: South Korea I'm not sure about, but I would be almost certain that South Vietnam was a member, I mean the establishment of North Vietnam was the main reason why SEATO was formed. Are you sure we aren't just listing founding members in the article and ignoring those who joined later? Regards, Grant65 | Talk 05:12, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

message: Though perhaps a bit short, it does technically fulfill all the requirements of a B-class article, so congrats. And good work on the map! I'm really not sure how to handle task forces on these types of things, as the subject is far from centrally important to the history/politics of many member countries (UK, US) - if we had a SE Asian task force...

message: I have today switched a number of references to "collective security" to read "collective defence." The difference is often confused or overlooked by laymen and is mostly academic anyway, but we may as well be accurate. 
*"collective defence" refers to an agreement by which 2 or more States agree to defend each other against agression by other party(ies) external to the agreement. NATO, SEATO, CSTO are all collective defence organizations since their primary goal is to prevent and resist aggression from a state outside the organization. 
*"collective security" is a security arrangement in which the members of the system agree to monitor each other; that is, all agree that all will resist aggression by any single member. Theoretically speaking such an arrangement would lead to the complete isolation of an aggressor. The League of Nations was the first Collective Security organization.

message: Even though the standing structures of the organization we're dissolved the mutual defence treaty itself remains in place and is still observed. The US as recently as last year still considers it the base of it's participation in Thai defence affairs, as even the sources currently in the article say. As it is now, the manilla pact is still considered in force by the US, Thailand, the Phillipines, France, the UK, Australia and New Zealand. They never claimed otherwise and specifically actually state the treaty is still in force for mutual defence even if the Seato organization is defunct. Do we make a separate page for the manilla pact or just another section?

:A section at the bottom of this article would be fine, I think. Manila Pact already redirects here, and there's not that much content to be covered separately. --Paul_012 (talk) 11:10, 31 October 2017 (UTC)
