Extract

Under Article VII of the tripartite security pact between the United States, Australia and New Zealand which entered into force on April 29, 1952, the parties were to establish a council to “consider matters concerning the implementation of this Treaty”. The foreign ministers of the United States (Acheson), Australia (Casey) and New Zealand (Webb) met in Honolulu, Hawaii, from August 4 through August 6, 1952, in the Council's first session. Statements by the participants prior to the opening of the Council indicated that the meeting would be exploratory only and would endeavor to establish more permanent machinery of consultation.
