Question

What international governmental organization is obsolete and why? It cannot be the UN

Answer 1

SEATO (Southeast Asia Treaty Organization), was an international organization for collective defense in Southeast Asia created by the Southeast Asia Collective Defense Treaty, or Manila Pact, signed in September 1954.Primarily created to block further communist gains in Southeast Asia, SEATO is generally considered a failure because internal conflict and dispute hindered general use of the SEATO military; however, SEATO funded cultural and educational programs left longstanding effects in Southeast Asia. SEATO was dissolved on 30 June 1977 after many members lost interest and withdrew.

Australia,France,Newzealand,Pakistan,Philippines,Thailand,United Kingdom,united States etc were the members.

Though Secretary of State Dulles considered SEATO an essential element in U.S. foreign policy in Asia, historians have considered the Manila Pact a failure,The Geneva Conference of 1954 on Indochina, Sir James Cable, a diplomat and naval strategist, described SEATO as "a fig leaf for the nakedness of American policy", citing the Manila Pact as a "zoo of paper tigers".

Consequently, questions of dissolving the organization arose. Pakistan withdrew in 1972, after East Pakistan seceded and became Bangladesh on 16 December 1971.France withdrew financial support in 1975, and the SEATO council agreed to the phasing out of the organization.After a final exercise on 20 February 1976, the organization was formally dissolved on 30 June 1977.
