The Santiago Anti-Communist Treaty Organisation (SACTO; Spanish: Organizacion del Tratado Anticomunista de Santiago) is an intergovernmental organisation and a military alliance aimed at combating and eradicating the forces of communism and its other Marxist-variants. SACTO is the successor organisation to the now defunct Axis Alliance, which was comprised of the Cebu Cooperation Pact, and its follow up organisation the Santiago Cooperation Pact. The latter was re-branded and reorganised into its present form on 8 July 2014.
Politically, SACTO is identified as right-wing; its membership, as of 5 March, 2017, consists of 28 member states of varying government types, from centrist democratic liberals to the more authoritarian absolute monarchy or military junta. Despite varying form of governments, the majority of SACTO members are considered realist - in stark contrast with member-states of the International Freedom Coalition who are generally aligned with liberalism - and all are united in their crusade against Marxist-Communism and other rogue elements throughout the international system.
Initially, SACTO was one of three dominant international alliances, alongside the International Freedom Coalition (IFC) and the United Left. It mainly found itself as being adversaries with the former, engaging in various conflicts with each other. Following the weakening and eventual dissolution of the United Left from 2014 onwards, SACTO then mainly focused its efforts in rivalling the IFC, while at the same time having countries that had duel membership of both alliance. Following a period of détente between the IFC and SACTO and the general weakening of the former due to international leadership struggles, the leadership began turning their attention towards evolving asymmetrical threats internationally from 2016 on.
History
Axis Alliance Era (2014)
Cebu Cooperation Pact - precursor organization to SACTO - also known as the Axis Alliance was formed officially on 16 March 2014. It consisted of five core founding members (Asigna, Whiteshore, Huda, Dewhurst-Narculist and Gran Cuscatlan), and expanded when Aravea and Aeyariss joined the Axis. It went into hiatus in mid-May 2014 as a result of internal problems that led to the temporary dissolution of the Axis Alliance, and since that several successor organization attempted to replaced the Axis (Central Powers, Order of Axis Nations) but none prevailed until the nations of Aeyariss, Dewhurst-Narculis and Gran Cuscatlan forged a new core of Axis and moved the new Axis Alliance HQ to Santiago, Gran Cuscatlan. In August 2014, the founding member Asigna was suspended over allegations of power abuse, and misdirection of the Axis members. Asigna opted to leave the Alliance, severely disrupting the cohesivess of the Santiago Cooperation Pact. In order to transform the Santiago Cooperation Pact in light of Asigna suspension and eventual removal, a new core consisted of Nifon, Aeyariss, Inyursta, and Dewhurst-Narculis rebranded Axis Alliance into its present form; Santiago Anti-Communist Treaty Organization.
Conflict with the United Left (2014–2015)
Initally, SACTO's primary rival was the United Left, a broad alliance of left-leaning countries ranging from communists to social democrats.
Following the dissolution of the United Left, it was replaced by the United Socialist Nations (USN). The USN was dissolved in 2016.
SACTO and the IFC (2015–2016)
Following the dissolution of the United Left, SACTO's relationship with the IFC began to break down.
New threats (2016–present)
In 2017, Carloso; once a member of the IFC and generally considered hostile to SACTO, was admitted to the organisation on the recommendation of Nifon, having gone through a period of détente and reconciliation. This coincided with a change in President Cárlos Tobón's foreign and domestic policy, favouring close cooperation with right-wing, mainly authoritarian countries over liberal democracies, to combat globalist forces and growing asymmetrical threats worldwide.
Purposes
- Promoting world peace and international stability through forging of a strong web of alliances.
- Safeguarding the freedom and liberty from oppressive communist/marxist regime throughout the globe.
- Eradication of communism and marxism throughout the international system.
