The Asian policy of the Philippines 1954-61

---

Both the Geneva truce agreements, which, in July 1954, brought the Indochinese war to a halt, and SEATO, the collective defence treaty signed in Manila barely two months later, displayed features which for several years to come were to shape international politics in South-East Asia. The arrangements of Geneva and Manila were not unrelated, Since the self-proclaimed aim of the latter was to guarantee the settle- ment reached through the former. Yet Geneva and Manila represent two widely diverging types of international settlement. Whereas the Geneva accords aimed at regulating and curtailing (but not abolishing) by common agreement, the acts of intervention of all great powers in the former Associated States, the Manila Treaty, by contrast, aimed at putting on a legitimate footing the participation in South-East Asian affairs of some great powers (the three Western allies, the United States, Britain and France) and of certain of their smaller allies (Australia and New Zealand).
