The Five Eyes



Published on 07 Jan 2025

• Australia has recently allowed non-citizens from the Five Eyes Alliance to join its armed forces to address a troop shortage.

• The Five Eyes, an intelligence partnership between the UK, USA, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand, originated from the 1941 Atlantic Charter and the post-World War II UKUSA Agreement.

• This alliance cooperates in signal intelligence and monitors electronic communications of citizens and foreign governments.

• One of the Five Eyes’ core principles is that members do not spy on other governments in the alliance
