Summary
It has been remarked in earlier volumes in this series that the pattern of Australia’s relations with the United Nations to a degree can be categorised according to the personnel principally involved. Thus, one may refer with some validity to an Evatt period and to a Spender- Casey period. The period under review here, 1961–65, does not lend itself easily to a similar identification. Dr Evatt held the External Affairs portfolio in the Curtin and Chifley Governments throughout most of the 1940’s; his successors in Menzies Governments, Sir Percy Spender and (the then) Mr R. G. Casey, were of similar mind and, with Sir Percy later moving freely between his embassy in Washington and the United Nations in New York, they were closely associated throughout most of the 1950’s in the United Nations context.
