Little is known by practitioners or academics about the dynamics of war termination. This book describes the negotiation and implementation of the armistice following the Korean war and the Korean phase of the Geneva conference (1954). It also analyzes some of the problems of coalition diplomacy. It thus foreshadows some of the problems that were encountered in conducting a UN-authorized war in the Gulf, and in the problems of negotiating a secure peace.
"Korean War Armistice Agreement" contains an agreement that brought a stop to the hostility and disagreement of the Korean War. This is an armistice signed on 27 July, 1953 and designed to ensure a complete cessation of hostilities, and all acts of armed force in Korea until a final peaceful settlement is achieved.
The Korean War was a war between North Korea (with the support of China and the Soviet Union) and South Korea (withthe principal support of the United States). The war began on 25 June 1950 when North Korea invaded South Korea following a series of clashes along the border. The United Nations, with the United States as the principal force, came to the aid of South Korea. China came to the aid of North Korea and the Soviet Union also gave some assistance to the North.The Korean Armistice Agreement is the armistice which serves to ensure a complete cessation of hostilities of the Korean War. It was signed by U.S. Army Lieutenant General William Harrison, Jr. representing the United Nations Command (UNC), North Korean General Nam Il representing the Korean People's Army (KPA), and the Chinese People's Volunteer Army (PVA). The armistice was signed on July 27, 1953, and was designed to "ensure a complete cessation of hostilities and of all acts of armed force in Korea until a final peaceful settlement is achieved." No "final peaceful settlement" has been achieved. The signed armistice established the Korean Demilitarized Zone (de facto a new border between the two nations), put into force acease-fire and finalized repatriation of prisoners of war. The Demilitarized Zone runs not far from the 38th parallel, which separated North and South Korea before the Korean War. The Korean War Armistice Agreement (KWAA) was signed on 27 July 1953 between the military commanders of the United Nations Command (UNC), the Chinese People's Volunteer Army (CPVA), and the Korean People's Army (KPA) of the Democratic People's of Republic of Korea (DPRK). Under the provisions of the KWAA, five Northwest Islands are specifically designated to remain under the control of the Commander-in-Chief, UNC. Because of the islands' unique strategic location, the surrounding area of the five islands became one of the primary potential sources of conflict between the Republic of Korea (ROK) and the DPRK.
On July 27, 1953, the United States, China, and North Korea signed the Korean War Armistice Agreement (KAA). However, South Korea refused to sign it, leaving the two Koreas separate and technically still at war to this day. However, to reinforce the United States' commitment to the Republic of Korea (ROK), it signed The Mutual Defense Treaty on 1 October 1953. What influence does a military truce signed by battlefield commanders more than 50 years ago have on the situation on the Korean Peninsula today? The dictionary defines armistice, as "a temporary suspension of hostilities by agreement; a truce." Over the past 52 years, this provisional delay has endured as the primary peace treaty for the region. This paper will address the purpose of the KAA and why this temporary measure has lasted this long. Other questions also are addressed. Has South Korea attempted bilateral discussions with North Korea to develop a lasting peace treaty? Do the political situation and cultural differences between the two Koreas affect the chances of a peace agreement? What conditions must exist for the peace regime process to move ahead, which includes dismantling North Korea's nuclear weapons program and defusing the overwhelming conventional force deployment on both sides of the Demilitarized Zone? How has the United States developed its National Strategic Policy concerning Korea? Does it matter that no representative from South Korea signed the Armistice? Depending on the kind of peace agreement taking shape, what does the peace agreement mean for the ROK-U.S. alliance and the Northeast Asian region? To answer these questions, this paper will review war termination and its application to the KAA.
After more than two years of bitter negotiations during which combatants & civilians continued to suffer casualties, the Korean armistice was concluded in July 1953. Focusing on the Americans formulation of negotiating positions & on their attempts to coordinate political goals with military tactics, Rosemary Foot here charts the tortuous path to peace & offers a new explanation for the agonizing length of the talks. She also takes into account the role of the Western allies & the Indian, South Korean, North Korean, & Chinese governments as she examines the complex international setting in which the armistice took place.
This book deals with the political and legal issues of the Korean question in the United Nations. This is the first in-depth analysis of the meaning and effects of the Korean problem in UN politics. The book discusses the UN's role in the management of the Korean problem, the effects of the Korean war, South-North Korea's rivalry over the issues of their legitimacy and international representation, the problems of the Korean armistice agreement, and prospects for the four-party peace talks. It also examines North Korea's nuclear program and structural famine as the new concerns of the international community in the post Cold-War era. This study is intended as one of the important readings for researchers, scholars and students in the fields of international law, international organizations and international relations.
