S/PV.474 Security Council

The third cablegram from the Commission, contained in document S/1505, is merely a summary report on background events preceding the outbreak of hostilities. It contains, so far as l can discover, no recommendations, and l shall therefore not read it out. The last report from the Commission is contained in document S/1507. Its text is as follows: "Commission met this morning 10 o'clock and considered latest reports on hostilities and results direct observation along parallel by UNCOI( military observers over period ending forty-eight hours before hostilities began. Commission's present view on basis this evidence is first that, judging from actual progress of operations, Northern Regime is carrying out wellplanned, concerted and full-scah invasion of South Korea; secondly, that South Korean forces were deployed on wholly defensive basis in aIl sectors of the parallel; and thirdly, that they were taken complete1y by surprise as they had no reason to believe from intelligence sources that invasion was imminent. Commission is foliowing events and wiII report further deve1opments." After considering these reports, the delegation of the United States and the de1egation of Yugoslavia each indicated that it would present a draft resolution. l shall indicate the attitude of INDrA with respect to these draft resolutions in due course, but l should like to make one or two preliminary observations. The events of the past two days have filled all of us with the gravest anxiety as to the near future. Many see in them the beginning of a third worId war, with all its horrors. A terribleburoentrierefôrë rests upon us as the body charged with the prhnary responsibility for the maintenance of international peace. The Let me recount here a recent personal experience. When l arrived in 1ndia at the end of March last, the relations between India and Pakistan were as bitter as bitter could be. A paralysing mutual distrust seemed to haunt them at every step. Even responsible Ministers spoke freely of war, not only as a possibility but even as the only possible solution. At this juncture, it occurred to our Prime Minister to suggest a meeting with the Prime Minister of Pakistan. The two met a few days later. There was no prearranged agenda, but they met, and almost immediately the tension in both countries eased. That meeting was not a solution, but it was a definite step of turning away from the brink of war, and future generations will probably record it as a turning point in the history of Indo-Pakistan relations. l mention this by way of showing that, even when things appear to be at their worst, there is no need for despair. MI'. AUSTIN (United States of Amedca): The United Nations finds itself confronted today with the .gravest crisis in its existence. Forty-eight hours ago the Security Council, in an emergency meeting, determined that the armed invasion of the Republic of Korea by armed forces from North Korea constituted a breach of the peace. Accordingly, the Security Council called for a cessation of hostilities forthwith and the withdrawal by the North Korean authorities of their armed forces to the 38th paralle!. The Security Council also requested the United Nations Commission on Korea to observe the withdrawal and to report. Finally, the Security Council called upon all Members to render every assistance to the United Nations in .the execution of the resolution, and to refrain from giving assistance to the North KOl"ean authorities. M. l'anglais) aujourd'hui existe. rité, l'invasion armées de demandé retrait, forces sécurité Unies et à sécurité entier pour venir La par Nous sion firme rités et ont L'invasion suit. elles-mêmes. invité République Il de pour sitions qui précisément Corée The decision of the Security Council has been broadcast to the Korean authorities and is known to them. We now have before us the report of the United Nations Commission for Korea, which confirms our fears. 1t is clear that the authorities in North Korea have completely disregardecl and flouted the decision of the Security Council. The armed invasion of the RepubEc of Korea continues. This is, in faet, an attack on the United Nations itse1t The North Korean aUfuonties have caned upon the established Government of the Republic to surrender. It is difficult to imagine a more glaring example of disregard for the United Nations and for all the principles which it represents. The most important provisions of the Charter are those outlawing aggressive war. It is precisely these provisions which the North Korean authorities have violnted. . l have submitted a draft resolution .rS11508jRev.U which l ask the Council ta consider favourably as the next step ta restore world peace. Its text is as follows: "Having determilled that the armed attack upon the Republic of Korea by forces from North Korea consti- tutes a breach of the peace; "Having cal/ed for an immediate cessation of hostili- ties; and "Having cal/ed upon the authorities of North Korea ta withdraw forthwith their armed forces ta the 38th paralIel; and . "Having noted from the report of the United Nations Commission for Korea that the authorities in North Korea have neither ceased hostilities nor withdrawn their armed forces to the 38th parallel, and that urgent military measures are required to restore international peace and security; and "Having noted the appeal from the Republic of Korea to the United Nations for immediate and effective steps to secure peace and security, "Recommends that the Members of the United Nations furnish such assistance to the Republic of Korea as may be necessary to repel the armed attack and to restore in~ <>rnational peace and security in the area." This is the logical consequence' of the resolution concerning the complaint of aggression upon the Republic of Korea adopted at the 473rd meeting of the SecurityCouncil on 25 June 1950 and the subsequent events recited in the preamble of this resolution. That resolution of 25 June called upon aIl Members "ta rendel' every assistance to the United Nations" in the execution of this resolution, and "ta refrain from giving assistance to the North Korean authorities". This new draft resolution is the logical next step. Its significance is affected by the violation of the former resolution, the continuation of aggression, and the urgent military measures required. 1 wish now to read the statement which the President of the United States made today on this critical situation. "In Korea the Government forces, which were anned ta prevent border raids and ta preserve internaI security, were attacked by invading forces from North Korea. The Security Council of the United Nations called upon the invading troops ta cease hostilities and ta withdraw to the 38th parallel. This they have not "In these circumstances, 1 have ordered United States air and sea forces to give the Korean Govern- ment troops cover and snpport. "The attack upon Korea makes it plain beyond aU doubt that commt1l1ism has passed beyond the use of subversion to conquer independent nations, and will now use armed invasion and mir. It has defied the orders of the Security Council of. the United Nations, issued to preserve international peace and security. In these circumstances, the occupation of Formosa by communist forces \Vould be a direct threat ta the security of the Pacific area and to United States forces performing their lawful and necessary functions in that area. "Accordingly 1 ha r :et' the Seventh Fleet to prevent any attack 0 Formosa. s a corollary of this action, 1 am calling u on t le linese Government on Formosa to cease aH air and sea operations against the mainland. The Seventh Fleet will see that this is done. The determination of the future status of Formosa must await the restoration of security in the Pacifie, a p.eace settlement with Japan, or consideration by the Umted Nations. "1 hcrve also directed that United States forces in the Philippines be strengthened and that military assistance ta the Philippine Government be accelerated. "1 have simi1arly directed acceleration in the fumish- ing of military assiste'1nee to the forces of France and the associated· states in Indo-China and the dispatch of a mi1itary mission ta provide close working relations ,vith those forces. "1 know that alI Members of the United Nations will considel' carefully the consequences of this latest aggression in Korea in defiance of the Charter of the United Nations. A return to the mIe of force in inter- national· affairs would have far-reaehing effects. The United States will continue ta uphold the rule of Iaw. "1 have instructed Ambassador ~n, as the representative of the United States ta the Security Cminci], ta report these steps ta the CounciI." The keynote of the draft resolution and of my statement, and the significant charasteristic of the action taken by the President, is support of the United Nations ptu'poses and principles-in a ward: "peace". Ml'. BEBLER (Yugoslavia) (transla.ted from French): Since my delegation has submitted a draft resolution [S/1509], 1 feel 1 owe the Council certain explanations. vVe know today that the Balkans, my country included, have been the abject of such a division, We also know that it has caused the Balkan peoples ta suffer many difficulties and misfortunes, which still exist, and the end of which it is impossible ta foresee; nor are we unaware of the extent to which the conse- quences of the policy of division are still poisoning international relations in general. Korea and the Korean people are another victim of the policy of spheres of influence, a term which, unfortunately, has always been taken to mean spheres of interference as weIl. In the case of Korea, hovvever, that policy has splitasunder a single country and a single nation. This fact has artificially created almost insurmountable obstacles to the creation of a ttnified independent and democratic Korea. It was inevitabl~ that an, open conflict should break out between two ,sides, each of which \Vas subjected to opposite mfluences. It is obvious, on the other hand, that this open conflict adds, in its turn, to the seriousness of the general conflict. The draft resolution which the United States delegation has placed before the Council clearly shows where this is leading. It \Vould be difficult to imagine more striking proof than that offered by the events in Korea of the fact that the poIicy of spheres of influence has created a vicious circle from whieh we -cannot emerge on·to the broad highway of the strengthening of peace. Indeed it may well lead us straight ,into a new 'worId war. What must the Security Council do in these cîrcum- stances? In our opinion the Security Council should act in a direction opposite to the trends followed so far in international relations. It should assist the Korean pe~ple to find its own path tawards independence and Ul11ty. vVe must not and we cannot, after only two days of fighting, abandon aU hope that the two parties involved will at last understand the interests of their own people and of international peace; we cannot be sure that they wiII continue to refuse to enter into negotiations at this fateful hour. That is why we beIieve that they should be helped to find a COl11mon language. vVe can do this by addressing to them an appeal, more pressing thanthe first, tocease hostilities, and by suggesting to the1l1 a procedm'e of mediation with the help of the good offices of the Security Council. That is the object of the draft resolution we have submitted. The text is as follows: "Collside1'ing that it is essential in the interest both of the people of Korea, and of general peace and security, that the armed conflict between the two Korean annies cease forthwith; "Taldng into. consideration that the United Nations Commission on Korea recommended in its cable of 26 June 1950 (document S/1503) the adoption of a procedure of 111ediation, "T0 1'e1zew its calI for the cessation of hostilities and draw the attention of the parties involved to the grave consequences which a prolongation of operations would entail, both for the people of Korea, and for international peace and security; "To initiate a procedure of mediation between the two parties'involved in armed conflict, and calI upon the said parties to accept such procedure in principle; "To invite the Government of the People's Republic of Korea to send immediately a representative to the Headquarters of the United Nations with full powers to participate in the procedure of mediation." \Ve hope that the Security Council, aware of the tremendous responsibility which it bears, will not fail at this hour ahd will giveall its attention to the proposaI contained in our draft. Vile, for our part, are prepared to consider any modification or any other proposaI inspired by feelings similar to ours which other delegations may suggest or place before the Counci1. 1\111'. CHANG (Republic of Korea) : There is no need for me to report to the Security Council the tragic events in my homeland, events which l have already reported to this Council on 25 June. As members of the Council know, my Government and my people have borne the full brunt of the present savage attack of the comn11.1nist forces of North Korea. "Vith none but small arms, without planes or tanks or heavy artiIlery, a substantialnumber of our soldiers have died fighting valiant1y at their posts of dutYwhile attempting to hold back the tanks and planes of the enemy. Tt is not necessary for me to rehearse the fact that this was an unprovoked and carefully calculated attack, cold-blooded and deliberate.Neither need l remind the Council that it is precisely such an attac1c as this, which has descended upon 111Y country, which endan- gers the peace and securïty of every free nation on the FuIly realizing these facts which l have cited so briefly. the Security Council met in e."'{traordinary session on the afternoon of 25 June, less than twenty- four hours after the cowardly attack was 1aunched. In that session, the Cottncil called for a cessation of the attack, but the attack did not cease. The Council asked the invading forces to withdraw to the 38th paralIe1, but they did not. Our soldiers still face the advancing foe under heavy odds in terms of weapons and ammunition. Under these fearsome conditions, our retreat has been inevitab1e. The situation is becoming more criticaI. Neverthe1ess, our armed forces are fighting with courage and determination. The resolution adopted on 25 June made very clear the moral sense of the United Nations. Unequivocally it pointed the finger of blame at the marauding forces invading 111Y country. One more step, however, remains to be taken. That moral judgment must be backed with the power of enforcement. In its reso1ution, the Council explicitly called "upon aIl Members to render every assistance to the United Nations in the execution of this reso1ution". On behalf of my Government, l make a strong appea1 through the Security Counci1 to aU Members of the United Nations that effective measures be taken at once. l further appeal to the Security Council to request aIl Members of the United Nations-to which the Republic of Korea owes its existence-to participate active1y in the enforcement of measures which it wiII sanction. It is my fervent hope that the Council wiII consider this appeal favourably in order to expel the invader from our territory and act directly.in the establishment of international peace and security. 1 Ml'. CHAUVEL (France) (translated f1'0111, F1'ench) : The French delegation has taken note of the most recent information received from the United Nations Commission for Korea. This information-and par- ticu1arly the contents of document Sj1507-t111ques- tionab1y establishes the responsibility for the attack. The attack certainly did not happen by chance. The length of the front and the size of the for.ces employed are sufficîent to show that it was premeditated. Never- theless, the secret of the plan was kept so careful1y, and it corresponded so little to appearances, that it took the Government. of the Republic of Korea, and even the United Nations Commission, completely by surprise. Moreover, it is obvious that in spite of the formaI instructions of the Counci1, not on1y·have the troops from North Korea not been withdrawn north of the 38th pat'allel, but they have not evenhalted their Thus the situation which held the attention of aIl members of the Council on 25 June has become a good deal more sel'Ïous. The very existence of the Republic {lf Korea is threatel1ed and, at the same . ti1l1e, the authority of the Council and of the United Nations is being openly flotited. There has been an act of violence; the consequences 1l1ay be serious, in fact they could be extremely seriaus. The only solution, therefore, is to reply in such a way as to put a complete stop to the attack. The soluti011 must be made to fit the circU1l1stances, and the circumstances are such that the Members of the United Nations must give proof of their solidarity in support of the prin- cipleswhich are the very foundation {lf their Organization. For those reasons, and acting upon instructions, the French delegation fully supports the draft resolu- tion submitted by the United States delegation. The French delegation also wishes to express its deep appreciation of President Truman's statement, which the United States representative has just read. In eomplying without delay with the request contained in paragraph III of the resolution adopted on 25 June, President Truman has shown a real sense of the great and heavy responsibilities 'Nhich each Member of our Organiz.ation has l111dertaken in signing the Charter. The statement also shows a broad and realistie outlook {ln the state {lf affairs in the Far East; it places the specifie problem of Korea within the general picture of the Pacifie and within what may becalled the Pacifie front,' all the parts of which are linked so dosely together'as to be interdependent. In all those areas there is the same problem, which must be dealt ,vith methodically and continually in eaeh region. And when l speak of a "front" l am not tlsing the term in the sense it has in wartime. No one here desires war and, according to the Charter, our aim is to prevent war. Our most earnest hope is that, once our \\'ork has been accomplished and order has been restored, aIl the territories mentioned in President Tntman's statement may becol11e the ramparts of peace. Sir Terence SI-IONE (United Kingdom) : l was glad to give immediate support to the first draft resolution 011 the situation in Korea which was introducecl by the representative of the United States two days ago and then adopted by the SecurÎty Council in emergency session. l am equally glad to support the second draft resolution which my United States colleague has introduced today, and l trust that it, too, will be aclopted. The situation which had developed in Korea and the l111paralleled affront to the United Nations were grave enough when the first resolution was proposed ana. l wish to emphasize my delegation's support for the resolution adopted hy the Council two days ago and for the United States draft resolution presented today, as there have been insinuations-not I would say, in responsible quarters-that we have been hesitant in supporting the Council's action in this grave matter. There was no basis whatever for such insinuations, as l should have hoped was clear from what I said in the Council two days ago. There is no basis for such insinuations now, as I hope, again, it will be clear from what I have just said. lVIr. TSIANG (China): The representative of the United States, in introducing his draft reso,lution, stated in very simple, sober and e~Œct language the reasons which have led him and his Government to reéoml11end this course of action ta the Security Council. I find it unnecessary ta repeat what Ml'..Austin said at the beginning of this meeting. I declare on behalf of 111Y Government that my delegation supports this draft resolution heartily. In the course of his speech, Ml'. Austin was good enough to read to us the entire text of an important statement issued by the Pre&ident of the United States. I wish to make a few remarks in connexion with this Presidential statement. In the first place, l should like to calI the attention of the Security, Council particularly to one sentence of that statement, as follows: "The attack upon Korea makes it plain beyond all doubt that communism has passed beyond the use of subversion to conquer inde- pendent nations, and will now use anned invasion and war." This sentence characterizes, beyond any doubt, the nature of the problem which faces us. I suhmit that clear recognition of this problem is the heginning of statesmanship to he shown hy us. Having made the comments which l decided to make on this important statement of the President of the United States, l turnnow ta say a few words about the draft resolution placed before us by the represen- tative of Yugoslavia. The heart of his proposaI is mediation. l humbly submit that an offer of mediation by the Security Council at this moment does not serve the cause of peace. Such an offer of mediation at this moment would only serve aggression and favour the aggressor. The event in Korea has been certified by our Commission ta be a clear, unprovoked case of attack, of aggression. The invader has defied the authoiity of the Security Council. Under such circumstances, an offer of mediation would be condoning aggression, favouring the aggressor. , 1 . The United Nations Commission has been in Korea for more than two years. l t has during aIl that time made its good offices available ta the rebels in the North. For aIl that time, the Northern authorities have decided ta ignore, ta brush aside the United Nations Commission. ,Vhile the Northern invading al'l11Y continues to press on, an offer of mediation most likely would not be accepted. This offer would only serve the pm'poses of the aggressor. For .that reason, my delegation feels obliged to oppose the Yugoslav draft resolution. . Ml'. BLANCO (Cuba) (tralls1ated /1'0111, Spanish) : The delegation of Cuba voted in favour of the draft resolution submitted at the meeting of 25 June by the delegation of the United States, among other reasons, in the firm hope that the decision of the Securïty Council would produce the desired effect, that is ta say the cessation of hostilities in Korea and the withdrawal of the armed forces of the authorities of North Korea to the 38th parallel. Ul1Iforttll1ately, subsequent events have shown that the authorities of North Korea have paid no attention ta this recommendation. Moreover, the reports trans- mitted by the United Nations Commission for Korea leave no doubt of the fact that this is a large-scale invasion, which has been carefuUy prepared and launched against the Republic of Korea, aState which was legally established under' the auspices of the United Nations itself. Ta this end. the delegation of the United States has submitted a draft resolutian, contained in document S/lS08/Rev.l, recommending that the Members of the United Xations should furnish such assistance or aid to the Republic of Koreaas may be necessary to repel the armed attack and ta restore peace and security in the area. The delegation of Cuba supports the draft resolution of the United States on the grounds that such an initiative is in accordance with the powers conferred by the Charter on the Security Council in such cases. At the same time, my delegation wishes ta express its satisfaction with the statement made this morning by President Truman and the initiative taken by the Government of the United States ta restore peace in Korea. Ml'. SUNDE (Norway) : Since the last meeting of the Security Council, the Nnrwegian delegation has care- fully studied aIl available reports about the hostilities which have now been in progress in Korea for more than two days. \Ve have scrutinized cablegrams from the United Nations Commission on Korea and have conferred with the Norwegian Government in order to get aIl additional information available. vVe have also listened \Vith keen attention ,to, the statements which have been made in this Council by the repre- sentatives clf Korea and by our feIlow representatives. In our opinion, there can no longer be an iota of doubt with regard to the nature of the hostilities now in progress. We are faced at this critical juncture in the Iife of the United Nations with an unprovoked attack by the North Korean forces against the Governmer:: of the Republic of Korea, which was brought into being through the action of the General Assembly of the United Nations. The invasion staged by tanks, artillery and planes is clead;! a cardully planned aIl-out effort aiming at the destruction of the Government of the Republic of Korea and the subjugation of its people. It is now also perfectly dear that the perpetrators of this brutal attack are unwilling to pay the slightest heed to the resolution which was passed by this Council two days ago. The attack is being pressed with relent- less fury, and the loss of human lives is mounting by the hour. For my part, l should like ta congratulate and thank the President of the United States and his Governmel1t for their prompt action, which shows there is no doubt or vacillation in this great Republic when the peace and security and justice of the world are put in jeopardy by reckless aggression. l shoulcl also lilec to thank the representative of the United States for his clear and concise reSUme of the situation in Korea as his Government views it at this moment. In my opinion, the United States draft resolution is eminently aclapted to meeting the require- ments of the situation that has arisen, and l am instructecl by l11y Government to give it unqualified support.

Full confirmation has been given of the accusations that this is a planned and prel11editated act of aggression launched without provocation against a people whose Government has been legitimately and democratically organized unc1er the auspices and the supervision of the United Nations General Assembly. The resolutiol1 adopted by the Security Council on 25 June on the basis of the first reports received c1emonstratec1 the fir111ness with which this organ must act, and at the same time the call11ness with which it is prepared ta act upon the course it has charted, without prejudice or precipitation. The Council's calI for the cessation of hostilities and for the withdrawal of the forces ta the 38th paranel, a measure which was taken to restore arder, has been ignored by the authorities of North Korea. Unfortun- ately we must admit that wc are facccl with a flagrant case of aggression and an unjustified violation of the fundamental principles of our international life, principles which are laid down in the United Nations Charter. Moreover, there has been a clenial of the authority of the chief organs of the United Nations, namely the General Assembly, under the auspices of which the Republic of Korea was democratically organized, and the Council, whose resolution of 25 June has been ignored. Le l'emploi mentaux cipes et notamment The respect for the territorial integl'ity of States and the use of pacific methods are two basic requirements if the peoples of the world are to live together in peace.

It was natural, therefore. that soon a.fter the submission ta the Council of a draft resolution by the delegation of the United States at today's meeting, and of another draft resolution by the delegation of Yugoslavia, l shottld have referred them to my Government. l expect shortly to receive its !nstructions on this matter of extreme urgency and Importance. l hope, meanwhile, that the Council's resoluHon of 25 June will be heeded promptly and that the situation in K{Jrea will not deteriorate any further but will, instead, improve, and that peace will be re-established in that area of our increasingly one, but temporarily too widely divided, world. , .

Speaking as the representative of INDrA, l must apologize to the Security Council for the repeated adjournments of our meeting today, but l was anxious, if possible, to obtain immediate instructions from my Govemment, and l therefore made " J. As is known to aU the members of the Council, India voted for the resolution which the Security Council adopted on 25 June. That \Vas an important resolution, but the issues involved in the draft resolutions before us now are for more momentous, and 1 cannot take the responsibility of voting upon them without receiving instructions from my Government. 1 received a copy of the draft resolution of the United States at about 11.30 this morning, and a copy of the Yugoslav draft resolution at about 12.30 this afternoon. 1 telegraphed the texts of both of them immediately to my Goverl11nent, but owing to the difference in local times, to which the representative of Egypt just alluded. they could not have reached India much before 1 o'dock in the morning. The Prime Minister and possibly the entire Cabinet would then have to consider the texts. Of aU the countries around this table, India, next to China, is nearest to the scene of confliet and my Government has, the'refore, to weigh \Vith a special care the probable consequences of any particular course of action. It is thus to be presumed that my Government has not been able to send specific instructions, and the members of the Council will therefore understand whv 1 am at present unable to vote upon either of these draft resolutions. Like the representative of Egypt, 1 shall not participate in the voting. In my capacity as PRESIDENT, 1 should like to point l out that ,there are two draft resolutions before the Council.
