United Nations

The United Nations' (UN) engagement in the Korean War had a huge impact after the war had ended. It was the UN's first military conduct that proved their ability to handle such issues. They build their reputations from great achievement, and they continuously try to solve Korea's unsettle peace.



“At a time when they are pulling back from a lot of their international commitments, they NEED the United 

Nations.”

- Edward C. Luck, president of the United Nations Association of the United States

“United Nations showed me the value of global solidarity 

and the power of collective action in the Korean War.”


- Secretary General of United Nations, Ban Ki Moon's speech at the 60th Korean War
 anniversary dinner party (June 25th 2010)

“I know that all members of the United Nations will consider carefully the

consequences of this latest aggression in Korea in defiance of the 

Charter of the United Nations. A return to the rule of force in
    
international affairs would have far-reaching effects”

- 33rd President of United States, Harry S. Truman's speech about United Nations involvement in the Korean War (1950)

“In a major way, the United Nations had served as a unifying force, bringing together nations of widely 

different backgrounds — including former communist governments — for the task of armed peacekeeping.”
