GOVERHARDS
Security Council Also on June 27th the North Korean authorities issued a statement
recommendations saying that the cease-fire order of the Security Council was con-
for assistance sidered illegal for two reasons: (1) North Korea was not represented
to South Korea when its affairs were discussed; and (2) the Soviet Union and
Communist China had not participated in formulating the decision.
The Security Council met again on the 27th to consider the reports
of its commission and to determine a future course of action in the
face of continuing hostilities. Austin brought to the Council's
attention HST's statement issued a few hours earlier. Austin sub-
mitted the following resolution:
"The Secutiry Council,
"Having determined that the armed attack upon the ROK forces from
North Korea constitutes a breach of the peace,
"Having called for an immediate cessation of hostilities, and
"Having called upon the authorities of North Korea to withdraw forth-
with their armed forces to the 38th parallel, and
"Having noted from the report of the UN Commission for Korea that the
authorities in North Korea have neither ceased hostilities nor with-
drawn 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 ROK to the UN for immediate and
effective steps to secure peace and security,
"Recommends that the Members of the UN furnish such assistance to the
ROK as may be necessary to repel the armed attack and to restore
international peace and security in the area. "
The resolution carried by a vote of 7 to 1 (Yugoslavia), with 2
abstentions (India and Egypt).
DGA comments
The next day support for the Security Council action was expressed
in many quarters: Britain, Canada, France, and the Council of the
Organization of American States. At a press conference on the 28th
DGA expressed gratitude for the "almost unanimous world reaution"
that had followed the UN action and the President's statement. He
said: In all parts of the world where free opinion exists there
has been an immediate response--- a response to the realization that
this was, if there ever was in the world, a test of whether the UN
is going to survive. DGA said that it was very important to remember
that since the meeting of the Security Council on June 25, "all action
in Korea has been under the aegis of the UN. He also stressed that
since the moment the attack had occurred, the entire action of the
government of the US had been taken under Presidential leadership
and direction, and that there had been complete unity among the
President's advisers, both civil and military.
The first Soviet reaction to HST's announcement was contained in
a Pravda editorial on the 28th. It went on at great length about
how "the events in Korea. reveal with all clarity that the
imperialist warmongers will not stop half way in pursuit of their
objects.'
