Security Council The Security Council met on July 7th to consider the situation in
recommendation
Korea. This was its fourth meeting since the outbreak of hostilities
for unified
on June 25. Norwegian Representative Sunde, Council President for
command
July, declared that what some had hoped would be a "short and
decisive police action" had turned into a "pitched battle of
unforseeable duration. " He said, however, that the response in
support of the UN action had been encouraging and that the Republic
of Korea was no longer alone in resisting the aggressors. The
chairman reported that to date the Security Council had been formally
notified by 44 of the 59 members that they supported the resolutions
of June 25 and June 27, and that 5 of these states were already
participating in the military action. The British representative
said that it had become clear that further steps would be needed to
co-ordinate the assistance offered and that, accordingly, Great
Britain and France were submitting the following draft resolution:
"The Security Council,
"Having determined that the armed attack upon the Republic of Korea
by forces from North Korea constitutes a breach of the peace,
"Having recommended that Members of the UN furnish such assistance
to the Rapublic of Korea as may be necessary to repel the armed
attack and to restore international peace and security in the area,
"1. Welcomes the prompt and vigorous support which governments and
peoples of the UN have given to its Resolutions of 25 and 27 June
1950 to assist the ROK in defending itself against armed attack and
thus to restore internal peace and security in the area;
"2. Notes that Members of the UN have transmitted to the UN offers
of assistance for the ROK;
"3. Recommends that all Members providing military forces and other
assistance pursuant to the aforesaid Security Council resolutions
make such forces and other assistance available to a unified command
under the US;
"4. Requests the US to designate the commander of such forces;
115. Authorizes the unified command at its discretion to use the
UN flag in the course of operations concurrently with the flags
of the various nations participating;
"6. Requests the US to provide the Security Council with reports
as appropriate on the course of action taken under the unified command. "
The British representative said that the sponsors of the resolution
had considered suggestions that had been made for "the possible
constitution of further machinery" by the Security Council, but had
decided that there was no need for this at the present time. He
pointed out that the Security Council was acting under Article 39
of the UN Charter so that its function in this matter was not an
"operative1 one, but rather a means of assuring the coordination
of the efforts of individual UN members. The representative of China
and Cuba spoke in support of the draft resolution and Chairman Sunde
said that the proposal was "a logival consequence of what the Council
had already done. The resolution was then adopted by a vote of
7 to o, with 3 abstentions (Egypt, India, and Yugoslavia). Following
the vote, Austin told the Council that the US would "fof course"
accept the responsibilities involved "in carrying out these principles
of the UN. 11
