History
1 Sep 1951, San Francisco CA (USA), under Article VII of T-XT5112 - Security Treaty, also referred to as the ANZUS Treaty, signed by Australia, New Zealand and USA, which entered into force on 29 Apr 1952. The Treaty in the English language and the instruments of ratification are deposited with the Government of Australia, Canberra (Australia). Following a dispute in 1985 over USA access to New Zealand ports and airfields, meetings of the full Anzus Council have not taken place since 1984. On 11 Aug 1986 the USA suspended security obligations to New Zealand. Commitments between the USA and Australia were mutually reaffirmed the same day and thus remain unaltered. Currently, Anzus continues to govern security relations between (a) Australia and the USA, (b) Australia and New Zealand.
