This is the AnyWay podcast with your host, Jesse Fries. This past weekend, me and the wife went to a cask ale festival for the first time in, oh, god knows how long, at least ten to twelve years, something like that. It was a lot of fun, and, we need to do it again. Anyway, what follows is the text of the NATO treaty. I figured given NATO being in the news so much, let's just look at the text, and you can come back and know it per the article and everything like that. It starts off with the preamble. The parties to this treaty affirm their faith in the purposes and principles of the charter of the United Nations and their desire to live in peace with all peoples and all governments.
They are determined to safeguard the freedom, common heritage, and civilization of their peoples, founded on the principles of democracy, individual liberty, and the rule of law. They seek to promote stability and well-being in the North Atlantic area. They are resolved to unite their efforts for collective defense and for the preservation of peace and security. They therefore agree to this North Atlantic Treaty. Article one. The parties undertake as set forth in the chapter in the charter of the United Nations to settle any international dispute in which they may be involved by peaceful means in such a manner that international peace and security and justice are not endangered, and to refrain in their international relations from the threat or use of force in any manner inconsistent inconsistent with the purposes of the United Nations.
Article two. The parties will contribute toward the further development of peaceful and friendly international relations by strengthening their free institutions by bringing about a better understanding of the principles upon which these institutions are founded, and by promoting conditions of stability and well-being. They will seek to eliminate conflict in their international economic policies and will encourage economic collaboration between any or all of them. Article three. In order more effectively to achieve the objectives of this treaty, the parties separately and jointly by means of continuous and effective self help and mutual aid, will maintain and develop their individual and collective capacity to resist armed attack.
Article four. The parties will consult together whenever, in the opinion of any of them, the territorial integrity, political independence, or security of any of the parties is threatened. Article five. The parties agree that an armed attack against one or more of them in Europe or North America shall be considered an attack against them all, and consequently, they agree that if such an armed attack occurs, each of them, in exercise of the right of individual or collective self defense recognized by article 51 of the Charter of the United Nations, will assist the party or parties so attacked by taking forthwith individually and in concert with the other parties. Sucks such action as it deems necessary, including the use of armed force to restore and maintain the security of the North Atlantic area.
Any such armed attack and all measures taken as a result thereof shall immediately be reported to the Security Council. Such measures shall be terminated when the Security Council has taken the measures necessary to restore and maintain international peace and security. Article six. For the purpose of article five, an armed attack on one or more of the parties is deemed to include an armed attack on the territory of any of the parties in Europe or North America, on the Algerian departments of France, or the territory of Turkey, or on the islands under the jurisdiction of any of the parties in the North Atlantic or, yeah, North Atlantic area north of the tropic of cancer.
On the forces, vessels, or aircraft of any of the parties when in or over these territories or any other area in Europe in which occupation forces of any of the parties were stationed on the date when the treaty entered into force or the Mediterranean Sea or the North Atlantic area north of the tropic of cancer. Article seven. This treaty does not affect and shall not be interpreted as affecting in any way the rights and obligations under the charters under the charter of the parties, which are members of the United Nations or the primary responsibility of the Security Council for the maintenance of international peace and security.
Article eight. Each party declares that none of the international engagements now in force between it and any other of the parties or any third state is in conflict with the provisions of this treaty and undertakes not to enter into any international engagement in conflict with this treaty. Article nine. The parties hereby establish a council on which each of them shall be represented to consider matters concerning the implementation of this treaty. The council shall be so organized as to be able to meet promptly at any time. The council shall set up such subsidiary bodies as may be necessary.
In particular, it shall establish immediately a defense committee, which shall recommend measures for the implementation of article three and five. Article 10. The parties may, by unanimous unanimous agreement, invite any other European state in a position to further the principles of this treaty and to contribute to the security of the North Atlantic area to accede to this treaty. Any state so invited may become a party to the treaty by depositing its instrument of accession with the government of the United States of America. The government of the United States of America will inform each of the parties of the deposit of each such instrument of accession. Article 11.
This treaty shall be ratified and its provisions carried out by the parties in accordance with their respective constitutional processes. The instruments of ratification shall be deposited as soon as possible with the government of the United States of America, which will notify all the other signatories of each deposit. The treaty shall enter into force between the states which have ratified it as soon as the ratifications of the majority of the signatories, including the ratifications of Belgium, Canada, France, Luxembourg, and The Nether The Netherlands, The United Kingdom, and The United States have been deposited and shall come into effect with respect to other states on the date of the deposit of their ratifications.
Article 12. After the treaty has been enforced for ten years or at any time thereafter, the party shall, if any of them so request, consult together for the purpose of reviewing the treaty, having regard for the factors then affecting peace and security in the North Atlantic area, including the development of universal as well as regional arrangements under the charter of the United Nations for the main maintenance of international peace and security. After the treaty has been enforced for twenty years, any party may cease to be a party one year after its notice of denunciation. Denunciation. There we go. Denunciation has been given to the government of the United States of America, which will inform the governments of the other parties of the deposit of each notice of denunciation.
Article 14. This treaty of which the English and French texts are equally authentic shall be deposited in the archives of the government of the United States of America. Duly certified copies will be transmitted by that government to the governments of the of other signatories. And that is the NATO treaty. So if you have any questions about what exactly it means, especially in today's world, come back to here, and you can hear all the different articles and how they actually apply.
