Reasons and Circumstances Leading to the Signature of the North Atlantic Treaty (RS(67)12)

19 Jan 1967
Description: This document, published by NATO's Political Affairs Division, discusses the reasons for the emergence of the North Atlantic Treaty. The author denies that NATO has become redundant. He attributes the signing of the treaty to an accumulation of specific circumstances, but does not consider the treaty to be a response to a particular situation. Rather, he argues, the signers of the treaty represented a community of interested parties that recognized the fact that advancing beyond a purely national outlook was essential for national and regional security.
