Upgrade intelligence relationships with traditional allies. Fore-warned is forearmed
Before considering new undertakings, ACT believes that arrangements with traditional allies must be repaired
The ANZUS alliance (Australia, New Zealand & the United States) exists on paper but is effectively void due to our prohibition on the US bringing its nuclear propelled warships into our waters
Closer Defence Relations (CDR) is a subset of the Closer Economic Relations (CER) arrangement with Australia but is also hampered by the breakdown of ANZUS and lack of capability alignment with Australia
We are an active participant in the United Nations and also in various non-UN efforts to bring peace to troubled areas, but there is more that could be done

Ensure all international treaty texts are open to public scrutiny
Require all international treaties to be voted on in Parliament before being signed, must give full effect to our Treaty of Waitangi obligations, and must put the rights of peoples and governments before those of multinational company investors
