In this connexion l f hould like to invite attention to resolution 293 (IV) of the General Assembly adopted 21 October 1949. in which the General Assembly asked the United Nations Commis- • The text is as follows: "Government of Republic of Korea states that a:bout 04.00 hrs 25 June attacks were launched in strength by North Korean forces all along the 38th paralle!. Major points of attack have included Ongjin Peninsula, Kaesong area and Chunchon and east coast where seaborne landings have been reported north and south of Kangnung. Another $eaborne landiHg reported imminent under air cover in Pohang arëàO'n southeast coast. The latest atta.cks have occurred along the parallel directly north of Seoul along shortest avenue of approach. Pyongyang radio allegation at 13.35 hrs of South Korean invasion across parallelduring night declared entirely false by President and Foreign Minister in course of conference with Commission members and Principal Secretal'Y. Allegations also stated People's Army instructed repulse invading forces by decisive counter. attack and placed responsibility for consequences on South Korea.

Following emergency cabinet meeting Foreign Minister issuing broadcast to people of South Korea encouraging resistance against dastardly attack.

Although North Korean declaration of war rumoured at 11.00 hrs, over Pyongyang radio, no confirmation available from any source. President not treating broadcast as official notice. United States Ambassador. appearing beforeCommission, stated his expectation Repûolican Army would give good accoun,t of itself. "At 17.15 hrs, four Yak-type aireraft strafed civilian and military air fields outside Seoul destroying planes, firing gas tanks and attacking jeeps. Yongdungpo railroad station on outskirts also strafed. "Commission wishes to draw attention of Secretary-General to serious situation developing which is assuming character of full-scale war and may endanger the maintenance of international peace and security. It suggests that he considers possibility of bringing matter to notice of Security Council. Commission will communicate more fully considered recommendation later." Ishould now like to ask the Secretary-General whether he has had any such interim reports on the present situation.

At midnight yesterday 1was informed that a conflict appeared to have broken out in Korea. I immediately dispatched telegrams to the United Nations Commission on Korea asking for a report. This morning the reply of the Commission was received and it has been circulated to members of the Security Council as document S/1496. Since November 1947 the problem of Korea has been a concern of the Ûnited Nations. In resolution 293 (IV) of 21 October 1949, the General Assetn'bly recalled its previous dec1aration that there had been established a lawful government, the Government of the Republic of Korea, having effective control and jurisdiction over that part of Korea where the United Nations Temporary Commission on Korea was able to observe and consult, and in which the greatmajority of the people of Korea reside. The General Assembly directed the United Nations Commission "to observe and report any developments which might lead to, or otherwise involve, military conflict in Korea" and, among other things, to "render such interim reports as it may deem appropriate to the Secretary-General for transmission to members". The General Assembly also called upon "Member States, the Government of the Republic of Korea, and aU Koreans to afford every assistance and facility to the Commission in the fulfilment of its responsibilities, and to refrain from any acts derogatory to the purposes" of 'the General Assembly resolution. The report received by me from the Commission, as well as reports from other sources in Korea, make it plain that military actions have beenundertaken by North Korean forces. These actions are a direct viola- tion of the resolution of the General Assembly which had been adopted by a vote of 48 to 6 with 3 ahsten- tions,3 as well as a violation of the principles of the Charter. The present situation is a serious one and is a threat to international peace. The SecurityCouncil is, in my opinion, the competent organ to deal with it. I consider it the c1ear duty of the Security Council to take steps necessary to re-establish peace in that area.

Before calling upon the representative of the United States, I should like to draw

It is open to us to permit this under rule 39 of the Security Council rules of procedure. If there is no objection, l propose that we grant the necessary permission. Since there is no objection" l invite the representative of the Government of the Republic of Korea to take his place at the table. ~ Ml'. GROSS (United States of America): At 4 o'dock in the morning of Sunday, 25 June, Korean time, armed forces from North Korea commenced an unpt:ovoked assault against the territory of the Reoublic of Korea. This assault was launched by ground forces along the 38th parallel and the Ongjin, Kaesong, and Chunchon sectors, and by amphibious landings in the east coast in the vicinity of Kangm11lg. In addition, North Korean aircraft have attacked and strafed Kimpo airport in the outskirts of the capital city of Seoul. The facts and a general outline of the situation have now been reported by the United Nations Com- a·· on Korea, and are refiected in document S/1496 to which the President has referred. Under Lese Ct cumstances. this wholly illegal and unprovoked attack by North Korean forces,' in the view of my Government, constitutes a breach of the ueace and an act of aggression. This is dearly a tbreat to interna- tional peace and security. As such, it is of grave concern to my Government. It is a threat which must inevitably be of grave concern to the Governments of aIl peace-loving and freedom-Ioving nations. A full-scale attack is now going forward in Korea. lt is an invasion upon a State whch the United Nations itself, by actIon of its General Assembly, has 'brought into being. It is armed aggression against the Governmentelected under United Nations supervision. Such an attack strikes at 1 the fundamental purposes of the United Nations Charter. Such an attack openly defies the interest and authority of the United Nations. Such an attack, " therefore, concerns the vital interest which aIl the Member nations have in the Organization. The history of the Korean problem is weIl known to the memhers of the Council. At'this critical hour l shall not review that history in detai1. l the General Assembly recommended the holding of 1 elections not latèr than 31 March 1948 to choose j representatives with whom the Commission might .' consult regarding the prompt attainment of freedom Land independence for the Korean people. These elected ' representatives would constitute a national assembly " and establish a national government of Korea. The General Assembly further recommended that, upon the establishment of a nationalgovernment, that govern- 1 ment should, in consultation with the Commission, 1 constitute its own national security forces and dissolve l 'ail military or semi-military formations not inc1uded , therein.. Tl;te..Genêl'ftl--A.c:sembly 'tecommended that the national government should take over the functions of " gove'rnmeiifIfôn:ltheMilita:ry Commandam:tft9j11];h~_ ni civilian auHio1'itiès of tIie No1't11and Soitth,"and arrange ' \Vith the occupying Powers for !he complete with- " drawal from Korea of their armed forces, as early as practicable and, if possible, within ninety days. Elections were held in South Korea and the Com- mission observed them. A Government in South Korea was set up as a result of the elections observed by the Commission. The Commission was unable to enter North Korea because of the attitude of the Soviet Union. The United Nations Temporary Commission on Korea, in its report to the third session of the General Assembly4, stated that not all the objectives set forth for it had been fully accomplished and that, in particular, unification of Korea had not yet been achieved. Notwithstanding the frustrations and the difficulties which the Temporary Commission had experienced in Korea, the General Assembly, at its third session, in resolution 195 (III) continued the Commission's existence and requested it ta go on with its efforts to bring North and South Korea together. One aspect of resolution'J$i ,'(El) adopted by the third session of the General Assembly should, 1 feel, The United Nations Commission worked toward the United Nations objectives of the withdrawal of occupying forces from Korea, the removal of the barriers between the regions of the North and the. South and the unification of that country under a representative government freely determined by .its people. ' In 1949, as in 1948, the Commission's efforts to attain access to North Korea, which inc1uded direct intercourse with the Northern authorities and endea- vours to negotiate through the Government of the USSR, were fruitless. The Commission was unable to make progress either towards the unification of Korea or toward the reduction of barriers between the Republic of Korea and the Northern authorities. The Commission reported to the General Assembly5 that the border of the 38th paralIel was becoming a scene of increasingly frequent exchanges of fire and armed raids, and that this constituted a serious barrier to friendly intercourse among the people of Korea. The Commission observed the withdrawal of United States forces, which was completed on 19 June. 1949. Although it signified its readiness to'verify the fact of the withdrawal of the occupation forces of the Soviet Union from North Korea, the Commission received no response to its message to the USSR, and, therefore, could take no action. At its~$ssion, the General Assembly, in resolution 93 IV adopted on 21 october 1949, again directed t e Commission to "seek ta facilitate the removal of barriers to economic, social and other friendly intercourse caused by the division of Korea". The General Assembly also authorized the Commission "in its discretion to appoint observers, and to utilize the services and good offices of one or more persons, whether or not representatives on the Commission". The United Nations Commission on Korea is presently in Seoul, and we have now received its latest report. ~;::~~~ii~:~~ ~~~*ly~:~~d1 government having effective control and jurisdiction " over that part of Korea where the United Nations Temporary Commission on Korea was able to observe and consult and in which the great majority of the people of Korea reside; and that this Government is based on elections which were a valid expression of the free will of the electotate of that part of Korea and which were observed by the Temporary Commis- sion·; and that this is the only such government in Korea; "Mindful of the concern expressed hy the General Assembly in its resolutions of 12 December 1948 and 21 Octobel' 1949 of the consequences which might follow unless Member States refrained from acts derogitory tothe results sought to be achieved by the United Nations in 'bringing about the complete inde- . . pendence and unity of Korea; and the concern expressed that the situation described by the United Nations Commission on Korea in its report menaces , the safety and well being of the Republic of Korea and of the people of Korea and might lead to open A\ military conflict there; .

CUANG (Republic of Korea) : My country, the Govermncnt oi which was brought into being by the Cnited ~ations, is now suffering the brunt of an unprovoked attack by military forces from North Karen. 1 have received official information from my Government that, on the peaceful Sunday ml~rning of 25 June 1950, the hostile forces of North Korea launched an attack in aIl directions, invading our territory at several ponts. The city of Kaesong, about forty miles north of Seout, the capital of Korea, has been attacked. The Ongjin Peninsula is being evacuated. Several planes flew ·over our territory, including the Kimpo airport near Seout, strafing planee on the field. Amphibious landings have been made in Samchok and Chanchun and other places in the northeastern area of our country. The North Korean military forces have used tanks, artillery, six-inch guns and planes in this act of aggression. The invasion is an alI-out effort. Its objective, needless to say, is to destroy my Government and to bring my country under the domination of the Communist-supported puppet regime of the North. The armed forces of our country, however, are meeting the attack with fortitude and bravery. Our people are determined to resist the invaders and ta lay down their lives in arder that free and independent democratic Korea might survive. This unprovoked armed attack by the forces of the North against the Republic of Korea is a crime against the humanity and conscience of mankind. 'Jhe invasion of my country is an act of aggressiQn ,and a thr"eat ta international peace and security. 1 appeal to the Security Council to act forthwith in removing this threat ta international peace. 1 also appeal to the Security Council to direct the invaders of my country to cease fire and to withdraw from our territory. vVe owe our existence to the United Nations. 1 trust that the Security Council, which is charged with the primary responsibility for the maintenance of peace, will Ilot fail in this imperative .c1E.!Y.J Sir Terence SHONE (United Kingdom) : 1 feel sure that we have aU heard the statement of the repre- sentative of the Republic of Korea with sympathy. l have little wish to add, at this stage, to what has been said by the representative of the United States. It is clear that we are confronted with a situation of the gravest concern ta the Security Council and, indeed, as the representative of the United States said, ta aIl peace-Ioving people the world over. d'obtenir, détaillé Nations quer étudierait mets lution propose projet "Prie Corée" : plus de texte constitute dront accepterait " ( a) Ta communicate its fully considered recom- mendation on the situation with the least possible delay;" l would then suggest that we continue with sub- paragraphs (a) and (b), as they are contained in the draft resolution, relettering them (b) and (c). l understand that this amendment would be accept- able to the representative of the United States. de d'agression se Je Etats-Unis également crétariat un tent accompli. curer nouvelles tarde toute le Mr. TSIANG (China): Within one day of an act of aggression in the Far East, the Security Council meets here at Lake Suc'cess ta take action. l think the Council owes a tribute ta the· delegation of the United States for taking this initiative. We also owe a tribute ta the President and to the Secretariat for calling us together this afternoon. In the opinion of my de1egation, speed of action is of great importance. The aggressors count upon facing Korea and the world with a fait accompli. A de1ay on our part would only afford to the breakers of peace further opportunities for aggression. In fact, the problem would become more complicated and less susceptible of solution if this Council were to delay its action. The event that occurrecl in Korea yesterday was l11uch dreadecl by 11S aH. We had hoped against hope My delegation wishes to say, in the firstplace, that we must take quiek action. vVe wish to say, in the second place. that the present crisis in Korea calls for full application of the provisions of the Charter. com- plete utilization of the moral and legal resources at the disposaI of the United Nations. We owe this to the people of Korea. The Korean people are an ancient, cultured people. Their traditions are of the peace-Ioving kind. l cannot imagine a country and a people which would be more loyal to the United Nations and the principles and ideals of the United Nations than Korea and the Korean people. If Korea \Vere to have a chance to achieve independence and a united life. it would blossom out in Asia just as the Scanc1inavian countries have contributed to the progress of the Western world. We owe to. the neighbours of Korea and to the whole worId a full application of the Charter. b~cause an act of aggression of this type. if' aHowed to stand. if allowed to pass without our strongest opposition, would only serve to encourage aggression in other countries. . h For these reasons, my delegation gives its whole- hearted support to the draft resolution which the delegation of the United States has placed before us, Before l conclude. l should like, with the President's permission. to address a special appeal to him, our President for this month of June. l make the appeal as the representative of one Asian country to the representative of another Asian country on behalf of a third Asian country and people. Ordinarily l do not like to speak at meetings in the United Nations on such grounds. l consider the Charter to be universal. l am convinced that the Charter should apply to all parts of the worId without discrimination. But this afternoon l have chosen to base my plea•.in the first place. on that ground. because the United Nations has by sheer habit concerned itself The troubles of the Far East are, or have been, the subject of debate. It is contended, and rightly so, that the strongest currentin the Far East today is nationalism, that nationalism must be accep.ted and promoted, and that the sooner nationalism is' satisfied in Asia and the whole Far East, the better it will be for the world. That thesis cannat be challenged. However, there is no present 01' future for nationalism unless this type of aggression is stopped. In Eastern Europe, where is nationalism? Where do we find respect for the rights of peoples? We know that the people of Poland are patriotic. They are devoted ta the interests of their nation. They have struggled fol' freedom in Poland fol' centuries; but taday is there roOlU for nationalislll in Paland? There are people who contend that the troubles of Asia go back primarily to the problem of poverty and that, thercfore, the remedy lies in welfare and in socialislll. Persona11y, 1 am a socialist. 1 think sacialism would benefit the countries of Asia, but unless this type of aggression is stopped, there is no present or future for socialism in any part of the worId. Vve lmow in Europe very we11 that Czecho- slovakia put into practice a progressive, enlightened typt:! of socialislll. Today where is that Czechoslovakia of Masaryk and Bénès? We will work, sweat, and struggle in Asia for a bright future for the peoples of Asia. We think that nationalism and socialism are the esscntial clements of this wark which we Asian peoples must do. 1 say that we must first of a11 stop this type of aggression. Otherwise, there will be no nationalism or any socialj· 11 in Asia. With the kind permission of the President on this occasion, 1 would like to end my speech by maldng this particular appea1 to the President both as President of this Council and as representative of India. Ml'. CHAUVEL (France) (translated trom French) : 1 a111 glad to associate myself with the statements made by the .representatives of the United States and the United Kingdom. The suddcn event which has been brought to the Council's attention is of particular concern to the United NaHons. In the first place, it represents a threat to the peace; furtherl11ore, it affects South Korea, and everyone is aware of the part played by the United Nations in the establishment of the institu- tions of that country. . The French delegation t~lerefore considers that the Council must take its deci:;iol1s in this matter without delay. Subject to possihle drafting changes, it is prepared to support the dIraft resolution submitted by the United States delegaÜon. The delegation of Cuba, mindful of its responsi- bilities as a member of the Council, therefore supports the draft resolution which the delegation of the United States has just submitted. Ml'. CORREA (Ecuador) (translated trom Spallish) : The Security Council is faced by a situation which requires its most careful attention. The charges made by the representative of the Republic of Korea and the information received from the United Nations Commission on Korea contain serious indications that we are faced by a grave case of aggression. It is to be hoped that subsequent events do not confinn this fear. , , If we are to be faithful to the obligations assumed in the Charter of the United Nations, the Council, as the organ primarily responsible for the maintenance of international peace and security, must always be alert to combat aggression wherever it arises. This is the responsibility of the Council and this is why the peoples of the United Nations place their confidence in the Council. My Govermnent's position is very clear in this matter. If there is international machinery to ensure peace and security, it is in cases of aggression that we must endeavour to use it to the utmost. So long as aggression goes unpunished, the world will be at the rilercy of force. On the other hand, in the specifie case of the Republic of Korea, the authority of the General Assembly, which took a part in the democratic establishment of this Republic, is threatened by the present situation, and this is a matter of particular Î11terest to the Organization. The draft resolution submitted by the United States delegation meets the urgent requirement that the Council should Mahmoud FA\VZI Bey (Egypt): Egypt was among the many Member States of the United Nations which voted in favour of the resolutions .of the General Assembly relating to Korea. Furthermore, my country is a firm believer-as are many other countries-in' the principles and pm'poses of the Charter of the United Nations. and in the indivisibility of international peace and security. It is natural, therefore, that l welcome an action aiming at the cessation of the conflict in Korea. Indeed, it is exhilarating to note the energetic attitude which the Security Council appears to be taking, and which is in contrast to previotls laxities and delays in relation to several earlier cases, inc1uding, most conspicuously, that of the savage and premedi- tated attack of world political Zionism against the still bleeding lawful people of Palestine, l have given most careful thought to the draft resolution submitted hy the representative of the United States, and I might he able to support it. suhject to some changes about which I am ready to consult with the tepresentative of the United States and with my other colleagues on the Council. The representative of Ftance already has mentioned that there might be need for some minor drafting chan~es in. the United States draft resolution. What- ever we might calI it, it may be usefuI, if the Cottncil so agrees, to recess the meeting for haH an hour, or. a little more, to consult on the matter. I think this recess would be an aid to the necessary speeding of the Council's action on the very important and urgent matter which is now before it. r--;;le PRESIDENT: There are no other speakers on 111Y list. I regard the request made by the representative of Egypt as a motion to adjourn the meeting until 5 o'dock. The meeting 1'ecessed at 4.15 P.11!. and reconvel1ed at 5.25 p.m.

As a result of the consultations, the text;::Q;~aft resoln.tion has been revised as follows~=) 1 The first two paragraPhS:.( remain as in the original. The next sentence remains as in the original. The first paragraph of the operative part of the draft l'esoltltion has been revised to read: uI. Calfs for the immediate cessation of hostilities i and "Callsupon the authorities in North Korea to withdraw forthwith their armed forces to the 38th paralIel". The second paragraph of the operative part of the resolution has been revised to read: "II. Requests the 'United Nations Commission on Korea "(a.) To commtmicate its fully considered recommendations on the situation with the least possible delay, "(b) To observe the withdrawal of North Korean forces to the 38th parallel, and " (c)' To keep the Securîty Council informed on the execution of this resolution". The third paragraph of the operative part of the draft resolution remains as in the original. Ml', NINcrc (Yugoslavia): l wish simply to make a very brief statement on the matter which has been brought before the Security Council at this emergency meeting. The news which has been pouring in from Korea since this morning and the statements we have heard this afternoon in the Security Council are quite obviously of a nature to cause the gravest concern and to arouse the greatest .feeling of 1Jn~asiness. An act of aggression, by whomever it is perpetrated, is an extremely serious matter, upon which the Security Council should always take the most determined, the most radical, and the most resolute action. However, we do not feel that the pïeture we have been able to obtain so far from the various dispatches that have come in, sorne of which are contradictory, and from the statements we have heard here, is sufficiently complete and balanced, nor one which wottld enable us to pass judgment on the merits of the case or assess the final and definite responsibility and guïlt of either of the parties involved. My delegation is, therefore, of the Opl111On that, before passing any such finâl judgment, the Sectlrity Council should do everything in its power to acquire an the factual knowledge which would make that final judgment and the action taken in pursuance of it incontrovertible and absolutely beyond any shadow of reproach from any side. That is why we think that, before passing such final judgment, the Security Council should hear a representative of the other party "The SeC1wity CoUllcil "Noting with grave concern the outbreak of hostilities in Korea, and anxious to obtain all the necessary information enabling it to pass judgment on the merits of the case, "CaUs fOl' an immediate cessation of hostilities and withdrawal of forces, "Invites the Government of North Korea to state its casè gefore the Security Cou~cil."l Ml'. SUNDE (Nanny) : On the basis of the information supplied by the United Nations Commission, as well as of the statement made this afternoon by the Secretary-General regarding reports from other sources in Korea, the Norwegian delegation is prepared ta support the United States draft resolutiol1, as now revised.

May l ask the representative of Yugoslavia whether he intends his draft ta 'be a separate draft resolution or an amendment ta the draft resolutian p:roposed by the United States delegation? Ml'. NINcrc (Yugoslavia) : In arder ta avoid possible procedural difficulties, l think it would he hetter if my draft resolution were treated as a separate one.

In that case, l shall now proceed to .put to the vote the draft resolution proposed by the representative of the United States, as revised. Ml'.
